In an April interview, General Manager Lou Lamoriello acknowledges that the Toronto Maple Leafs roster needs improvements

"Lou Lamoriello: I think it’s obvious that there are certain areas we need [to improve]. But I think the most important part is, overall, you have to get better. I think that you have to be extremely careful when you have a year like this, coming from the year before, as far as you might think it’s okay. This is a tough league. You look at the teams prior to the season starting that were expecting to be in certain places and what transpires. You look at where Toronto was expected to be. You never know. A lot happens there in the summer as far as preparation. I think that’s the most important thing. Each and every one of our players right now has to do what is necessary for them to be better next year. And then it’s our job to fill into the areas where we feel that we have to add. Getting better within is more important right now. maple leafs hot stove"
