Trouba has been pretty clear that he doesn't want to play in Canada. Maybe he would consider a playoff run, but I wouldn't expect much past that. Robertson was a wasted pick. It would have been better to gamble on a 205 cm defenseman who fights and gets giddy at the thought of crosschecking someone for standing to close to the Leafs goalie. What went wrong? We are used to watching the Marner lead Leafs and now we are back to watching the Matthews led Leafs. Teams lose games and that is fine but the last two games were examples of skill over effort. Skill over effort has been a constant theme when 34 is the leader or de facto leader. The Leafs best games this year happened when he was in the press box. It very much looks like causation not correlation.
What went wrong? Matthews was playing. All you have to do is look at the stats.
Tough one
Yeah, there were definitely some bad bounces, but the Leafs were outplayed, especially by Washington.

Matthews doesnt like the Berube system bc it means less cookies and more team work.
