The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Kyle Dubas as their new general manager yesterday, and now they can get down to business. But what is their business? What do the Leafs need to accomplish this summer?
Tons! They’ve got to name a captain, improve their defense, replace four UFAs (Bozak, JVR, Komarov, Plekanec). Find a centre, decide if Nylander is a centre, then, if not, find another one. They’ve got a ton of stuff to do, but one thing looms heavily over everything else:
Sign Nylander (and Possibly Marner and Matthews).
This is priority #1. The Leafs might sign Matthews and Marner, but they might not.
