The handling of Kylington this season has to get him or the franchise some karma.
Only way IMO he leaves is on his own and would be because if the Leafs falter, they will fire Dubas and if they’d offer it to Treliving (via the appropriate permissions).
This roster had only a few guys with career years, compared to last.
The effort was there most nights, but some average or below average goaltending, an inordinate number of posts, all of which could’ve changed some of the tight games into easy wins, including all those overtime losses, and it seems that the perfect storm went against them this year. Will be a broken record but lose “only” 14 overtime or shootout games, which would be still 2nd worst in the league , and not 17, and they are in the playoffs.
Tough to blame Treliving for that, the roster was good but totally underperformed results wise.
