While the return of NHL action remains unclear, the Toronto Maple Leafs should prepare accordingly with some new strategies to implement.

It has now been two months since the NHL last had games played and the fate of the Toronto Maple Leafs 2019-20 season continues to remain up in the air with each passing day.

The lack of certainty of what the future holds for both the current season and the next means all teams remain in a state of limbo as they try and prepare for a return to play whenever that day could be.

In the case of the Toronto Maple Leafs, it presents an opportunity to review the footage from this season and figure out some ideas of ways to improve their performance in future games.

It may be weeks or months before such strategies can be implemented, but the chance to brainstorm some potential new tactics is one that should be taken full advantage of.

I will pretend for a bit that I am walking in Sheldon Keefe’s shoes for a day. Wait, it might not be a good idea since everyone is stuck inside. You know what, let’s just pretend I am the coach for a day.

Here are three potential strategies I’ve come up with that Keefe has either contemplated or may use in the future.
