Toronto Maple Leafs: Tough Enough to Win Without Grinders

I have noticed of late that many followers of Editor in Leaf believe it was a mistake to allow both Komarov and Martin to leave the Toronto Maple Leafs. Uncle Leo left via free agency and was signed by Lou Lamoriello to a four-year contract at three million per. Matt Martin followed Komarov to Long Island/Brooklyn via trade. Many people criticized Lou for the signings.

During the 2017/18 season, Martin dressed for fifty games and had 147 hits. He did not dress during the first round loss to the Bruins. Komarov had 214 hits while skating in 74 games and played in the first two playoff games.
