Leafs Off-Season Game Plan: Forwards
The Maple Leafs problem isn't scoring goals, it's keeping them out.
But after being a top-10 team in goals scored from 2011-2013, the Leafs
were middle of the pack last season suggesting defence isn't the only
area in need of an upgrade.
The Leafs rely heavily on Phil Kessel and James van Riemsdyk and many nights live and die with their power play because apart from those two first liners they have trouble generating chances at even strength. A total revamp of the defence is the first priority this off-season but so too is creating a more balanced attack up front. Thankfully, the forwards need more of a tweak than a gut job.
