Episode Details

The Toronto Maple Leafs didn’t just lose firepower—they redefined their identity.

While the stats look worse on paper, the strategy is clear: prioritize defense and depth over flashy offense. Rookie Gavin McKenna could be the spark, but his role remains a mystery—will he lead the charge or start sheltered? This isn’t about replacing scorers; it’s about becoming a team harder to beat.
