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.
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.
