The Toronto Maple Leafs sit second or third in the Atlantic as the New Year begins.

After a somewhat disappointing game last night against the Las Vegas Golden Knights, the Toronto Maple Leafs now sit third in the Atlantic, tied with Boston, but having played three less games.

While I think we all expected the Leafs to be better than they are at this point, the schedule, injuries and some unexpected offensive droughts have conspired to keep the team down.  There is probably more to it than that, but all I’m saying is that the Leafs are in a decent spot and there is a ton of reasons to think they’ll get even better.

With that in mind, I offer you the following list of New Years Resolutions.  But first, I’d like to wish a Happy New Years to all our readers from the entire staff at Editor in Leaf. (Credit to them for helping me brainstorm some of the ideas included in this article).   I hope if you’re reading this on New Years Day, that you’re not feeling too rough and that you had fun last night.

The Leafs are on the right track and appear to be on the verge of being one of the best teams in the NHL.  I believe 100% that the rebuild phase is over. I believe the Leafs are current Cup Contenders and that they can win it all this year.  Will they?  I won’t go so far as to predict that they will, but they definitely have a chance.

What follows are some minor and major changes I’d like to see in order to make that fantasy a reality.
