Wife and I were just talking about whether or not the Leafs would have won without a cap. I know they failed for decades, but I am tempted to say that, with no cap, they would ice an all-star team every year and probably would have won.
I also wonder how much they can make handshake deals and promise people lucrative retirement gigs (Tavares??) I don’t imagine that is legal, but it would be nearly impossible to enforce that rule.
I am willing to bet JT ends up in the leafs office somehow… not as GM or anything “routinely” public, just some quiet guy that goes around doing the “occasional” public thing lol
