After eliminating Toronto, however, the Panthers dispatched the Carolina Hurricanes in five games to reach their third consecutive Stanley Cup Final, making the Maple Leafs’ loss feel heavier by the day. “They’ve set the bar in our division,” Treliving painfully admitted. “They’ve set the bar in our league. That’s what we aspire to.”

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving says to expect changes in the offseason after another early exit in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Leafs have a lot you can build with even if you lose Marner’s 102 points. The team is pretty much set in goal with Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll for the coming season. The entire defence is signed, though Treliving would probably like to add a puck-moving rearguard.
