The New Decade

As we enter the new decade, there is a lot of stories to look back on in the past and for the team to build on going into the 2020s.

The Leafs currently have one of the best cores in the whole league locked up for a number of years. I expect there to be success moving forward with the likes of Matthews, Marner, Nylander, and Tavares all signed to long term deals with most of those guys only scratching the surface of their prime years as a player.

With the likes of Shanahan, Dubas, and Keefe as the guys who are tasked with bringing success to this team, I am more than optimistic about the future success of this team going forward, I think the Leafs organization is on the right path to forming a dynasty.

Here’s to the Toronto Maple Leafs stories of the 2020s to be filled memories that LeafsNation will never forget and for the hockey community to reminisce about when the time comes where we will be looking back on the 2020’s one day.
