The Toronto Maple Leafs’ season ends in familiar fashion—a heartbreaking Game 7 loss, this time in humiliating fashion to the Florida Panthers, marking the latest chapter in their long playoff struggles.

In this episode, we break down what went wrong, analyze the fallout for management and the roster, and explore the tough decisions ahead as the Leafs look to rebuild on the fly and keep their Stanley Cup window open. Will John Tavares return? How will the Leafs replace Marner if he leaves? What are the realistic moves Toronto can make with limited cap space and draft capital? Join us as we navigate the Leafs’ offseason and preview what could be the most pivotal summer in franchise history.
