In an all too familiar fashion, the Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs without progressing past the first round. The only thing that can be done in a situation like this is to retool. The Toronto Maple Leafs don’t need to blow up the roster but they must make the right tweaks to make them better going into the 2022-23 season. Roster changes will include both players leaving the Leafs and signing upcoming unrestricted free agents. It could also see players in the farm system taking the next step in their careers by earning a roster spot. Part of the way to ensure that there is continued success in the organization is to draft well. That is why the 2022 NHL Entry Draft means so much.
