The Toronto Maple Leafs seems to be on the brink of major changes. No one's position within the organization - from the office staff to the players on the ice - appears to be completely secure. The determination of Shanahan to bring in a General Manager who is unafraid of making tough decisions is clear. Whoever lands this role could immensely change the organization.
In echo of what happened in Toronto in the lat few weeks, speculations and whispers about a potential reshuffling of the Core Four have been surfacing. This move would create some wiggle room within the salary cap, allowing for the re-signing of several UFAs.
The folks over at Editor in Leaf came up with three plausible trade scenarios involving Mitch Marner.
