Green flag: The big bad Leafs have the league’s best hit differential
For all the people who have demanded the Leafs get more truculence, belligerence and pugnacity, it’s time to soak up this moment: You did it! No team wins the hit battle every night better than the Leafs, who have delivered 142 more hits than they’ve taken this year. Congratulations!
Red flag: How they spent Mitch Marner’s $11 million of cap space
For all the people who have said that “cap space” was a better asset than Marner’s last contract, well, you’re getting an expensive lesson as to why that was always a fantasy. The Leafs are paying Matias Maccelli, Nicolas Roy, Dakota Joshua and Scott Laughton a combined total of $11.2 million this year. And it’s going great!
