Because they didn't have anybody to really get him the puck like Mitch Marner did for all these years.

So you need to find somebody that can play with Auston Matthews, that can get him the puck in the right area to score goals.

And that's one thing.

On defense, they didn't have Tanev this year.

I mean, that's somebody that is going to be so important to your defensive structure.

The goaltending was one of the best tandem two years ago.

And this past season, really not doing the play that they should have.

But I think that Tanev was a big part of that.

So they have pieces.

They have a lot of cap space.

I don't know how you spend that cap space because...

Free agency is not going to be what it has been over the last little bit here.

Everybody's resigning.

Everybody's, you know, staying with their team.

So, you know, there's ways for the Leafs to move forward right away next year.

But you need to be able to get a couple of big pieces.

one has got to be somebody to play with Matthews because you cannot go into a year saying, oh, we're going to have Matthew Nyes and we're going to have Austin Matthews, but we're going to have Domi or Michelli or McMahon or whatever.

That is just not going to go.

You need somebody there.

Awesome, guys.
