If they could, the Leafs would probably move on from Tavares, but with one more year, I'm sure he'll be back. So that leaves one of Marner or Nylander out. Do they sell high on Nylander who seemed to do alright towards the end? Do they sell low on Marner? They have some tough calls to make. At this time I think they'll make some changes to the supporting cast and wind it back again with the core one last time. Again, on the 4th line they had a grinder to create chaos down low, in Simmonds, but they didn't use him and went for skill instead. I think they were wrong on that last game to make that decision. Simmonds was useless regular reason but is exactly what they needed against Florida specifically.
