The Toronto Maple Leafs had a successful, but perhaps underwhelming summer.
In addition to losing Zach Hyman, the Toronto Maple Leafs will also move back into the Atlantic Division, and they will resume playing their biggest rival.
No, not the Montreal Canadiens. I don’t consider them a playoff team, and though they are the Leafs most historical rival, they aren’t going to be a contender this year.
