Toronto Maple Leafs Now Have 1/3rd of Last Year’s Duck’s Blueline
The Toronto Maple Leafs have chosen an interesting new strategy: replicate the worst blue-line in the NHL.
That’s right folks, with the signing of Simon Benoit to a one-year deal, the Toronto Maple Leafs now have an entire third of the Anaheim Might Ducks blue-line from last year.
For those keeping track at home, that’s the 32 ranked Might Ducks.
Go Leafs!
The Toronto Maple Leafs Bold New Strategy
Replicating the NHL’s worst blue-line is an interesting choice.
The Ducks were not only the NHL’s worst team last year, but they were last in puck-possession, shots-for and expected-goals.
They got a bit lucky and only finished 31st in goals-for percentage.
