Darren Dreger reveals the path forward for Toronto
As the insider reveals, the Maple Leafs are well aware of their flaws and are going to be making trades to address those flaws.
With that being said, fans can expect the likes of Bobby McMann, Scott Laughton, and many others to be on the chopping block.
It's not about a win here or there, Toronto knows and can see the flaws...in their lineup; the buzz around Bobby McMann, maybe Scotty Laughton, some of the other pieces, those pieces are going to be in play
