Hiring an experienced general manager will not fix the Toronto Maple Leafs problems.
Reports indicate that the Toronto Maple Leafs core will unlikely be moved, despite the team bringing in a brand new general manager.
After nine years with Brendan Shanahan running hockey operations and five years of Kyle Dubas as GM, the team decided to move on from Dubas, citing that an experienced GM was necessary. So if you’re bringing in a new GM with “experience”, why are you stopping them from not trading any of the core right now?
How can you put a leash on an experienced manager that quickly without them evaluating the team and understanding what they think is best for the club?
