How Ex Toronto Maple Leafs Did on Different Teams in 2019-20

Some Players did better on a Different Team than the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Every season and offseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs see players come and go off their roster. For example, this offseason they brought in Wayne Simmonds, T.J. Brodie, Joe Thornton among others. While those are the new arrivals, they had to say bye to guys like Tyson Barrie, Cody Ceci, Kasperi Kapanen, Andreas Johnsson and others.

From 2018-2019, the roster situation in bringing in new guys and letting others go was no different. While it was tough to let go of some players, it was done for the better of the franchise as they seek to win a Stanley Cup for the first time since 1967.
