What Toronto Maple Leafs need to learn from Stanley Cup Final, draft profile on Stian Solberg

[@bluesky9940]

Vegas and Florida proved that you need a balanced team to win; not half of the payroll on 4 players..simple

[@Sam-z1t6p]

Mike you are 100 %correct stars need to perform they get paid the most need to bring it

[@Sam-z1t6p]

Also home ice helped the panthers with the win wanted it more

..hopes dashed for a Canadian team cup winner..as a Habs fan..maybe a shot in 4 years or so...Leafs in that murky middle need to decide when to pull the plug on the "core" and rebuild with attitude..

[@Sam-z1t6p]

I think all the staff get stanley cup rings which should be limited to players only crazy

The salary cap is not fair for all teams its bs. No state tax team s keep winning what a shock, teams with 7% or more to spend have a way more balanced team. We can do taxes with pro salaries state to state to province but we cant adjust the cap with taxes, its not just Canada either NY, California etc. #fixthecap

[@JohnCherry69]

the cap will never be fair. it is likely as fair as it is going to be. An advantage to being in a Canadian market is an 11 mil contract is 15 mil canadian and I could be wrong, but would you get. more endorsements in canada than you would in the states. One thing I have also heard from a former leaf now analyst is MLSE has a guy for everything. A player in market for new vehicle, furniture, vacation in Spain during the summer. MLSE has a guy for it. You want this you go see that guy, you want that you go see this guy. just saying it not all on the nhl. teams do their own to sweeten the deal

One lesson is that you should expect to win if you score two goals. Playoff hockey is not the regular season.

[@vt1340]

Their salary structure is simply messed up. Fix that first.

McDavid choked. Trade him

[@Lee-f9w5v]

TML are built like EDM , too much money spent on 5 players who are the only ones on the team who get points. EDM had 5 players with over 10 points, FLA had 11 players with more then 10 points! Then there is BOB , neither TML or EDM have a goalie like that so will not win till they do !

[@paullacroix527]

McDavid and Drai sucked in the SC final. There's nothing to learn hear.

[@RattleheadVic73]

We won’t have any success in the playoffs until all of the core 4 are gone
