The Toronto Maple Leafs entered the summer of 2024 with a lot on the line, and according to Bruce Boudreau, they might have hit all the right notes.
After a devastating Game 7 loss in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Maple Leafs quickly made significant changes. They started by hiring Craig Berube as head coach, replacing Sheldon Keefe. Then, in free agency, General Manager Brad Treliving made a series of smart moves.
The Leafs secured Timothy Liljegren with a two-year extension and bolstered their defense by adding Chris Tanev and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. They also brought in goaltender Anthony Stolarz and forward Alex Nylander as free agents. While other teams in the Atlantic Division have made flashy moves, former Canucks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau believes no team had a better offseason than Toronto.
In the competitive Atlantic Division, which includes the Red Wings, Lightning, Panthers, Sabres, and Bruins, all teams are vying for a playoff spot. With a strong forward group and an improved roster, the Maple Leafs are optimistic heading into the 2024/25 season. While there are still some questions to be answered, Toronto is eager to make a deep playoff run and end their Stanley Cup drought, which dates back to 1967.
