The Leafs now find themselves in a similar situation to the Avs. Strong regular seasons followed by playoff heartbreaks. To me, the Leafs best path forward is the same one the Avs have followed. Stick to your core, let your young defencemen develop, and trust your guys to figure out how to win come crunch time. Oh, and they should also try to add
Nazem Kadri, that guy seems like he a real playoff performer.
