The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a horrible summer.
The Toronto Maple Leafs eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning in April, giving their fans a dangerous amount of hope and optimism.
The team was then eliminated by the Panthers in five games, despite playing fairly well (if we’re honest, which we always are).
And every since then, it’s been a disaster.
Management decisions?
Terrible.
Coaching decisions?
Terrible.
The draft?
Not so good.
Free-Agency?
Yikes.
Going to arbitration with arguably your most important player?
Good call, Aguado.
I did really like the Tyler Bertuzzi signing. I think it was really smart to look at what happened with Luke Schenn (he got a bizarre new contract for three years based on a couple good weeks in Toronto) and convince Bertuzzi it could happen to him.
But everything else? Not so much.
With that said, let’s count ’em down. Here are your worst Toronto Maple Leafs moves of the summer.
