how do you improve the Leafs exactly?

You have pieces to trade and pieces to build off, simple as that. The book can be out on what to do with Matthews. Paying any player $13M+ in the cap world really handcuffs what can be done with the rest of the team. So you can trade him for a haul, or keep him knowing you have a franchise player? Dunno.
You can trade Marner or Nylander for a solid package. Knies looks like a 2nd liner at worst.
The team as is, isn't bad at all. Sure on the surface you can say they've only made the 2nd round, but on paper they're a good team with some flaws that need to be addressed. With the trade capital they have they have the capability to do it.
