Kyle Dubas had a phenomenal offseason, he added depth on the line-up with the pillars being grit and leadership, what has been seeming to be the missing ingredient to unleash the full potential of this team’s core players.

I dare say this is the most balanced team the Toronto Maple Leafs have had in a long time.

However, I wouldn’t be truly Dutch if I didn’t find one thing to complain about, so I have.

Personally, I think Kyle Dubas skipped an opportunity to address the goaltending situation that will clearly be a problem in the near future. There were plenty of opportunities to land a goaltender for the future.

Yes, the Toronto Maple Leafs have Jack Campbell which could be the solution in the future, but he hasn’t proved to be a starting NHL goaltender yet.

Truth be told, I would have loved to see Dubas landing Matt Murray. The fact he is half Dutch has nothing to do with it, though I admit it doesn’t hurts.
