1 week agoMaple Leafs look for new challenge after losing Marner
Maple Leafs will rely on Matthew Knies and new acquisitions to replace Mitch Marner’s offense while improved defensive depth aims to bolster the team.
After scoring 69 goals and having the historic campaign he did, Matthews lost a chunk of his season due to injury and when he was on the ice, it wasn't at 100 percent. A trip to Germany in November to see a specialist in the middle of his absence really highlighted the fact that both the Leafs and Matthews were desperate to find a solution to first get him on the ice, but like we said, he wasn't the same.
