If the Leafs' job was to win the Stanley Cup, they would have folded decades ago. They are the only Original Six franchise that has never even been to the finals since expansion began.
Their job is to keep the Canadian media saturated with Leafs coverage and give their fanboys something to gush over. Signing Nylander helps with that.
