It feels like the official end of an era in Toronto and it's really upsetting. I've spent my entire career in Toronto waiting for our chance and now it seems like we might be headed for another rebuild. This season we finished a very disappointing 11th in the league, 7th in the conference, and 4th in the division. A full 8 points behind New England. We went 32-29-5 which is a losing record for the first time since I think Season 56. The writing is on the wall for the North Stars and it's incredibly unfortunate. I can't help but feel like the league crippled us with the sanctions that they put on us for our payroll screw up a few years ago. That was right when we were hitting our stride as a franchise. We have 8 unrestricted free agents coming off the book this year including myself, Harry Carpert, Adam Barron, Nick Brain, and Ruslan Zaporozhets and I'm just not sure that it's realistic for us to expect to keep us all together.
