- Historically, Conn Smythe transformed the post-war Leafs into a dynasty, while Cliff Fletcher modernized the department through bold trades, acquiring Sundin for Wendel Clark.
- Incoming leadership inherits a difficult situation following Brad Treliving's tenure, which saw a club-record one-year drop of 30 points this season.
- With the loss of forward Fraser Minten to Boston, the team must avoid another season described as "an 18-wheeler going right off a cliff.
