A lot of people think that we lost our chemistry when Nylander came back but it simply coincided with when Leivo was traded for a career minor leaguer. I mean here was a player the team loved especially if social media is any indication. A guy in Babcocks doghouse. A player who had done everything asked of him yet could never get in the lineup. A guy who produced every time he was played in a scoring role. Yet when he was traded the Leafs were never the same. Sure people blamed Nylander who wasnt in game shape who was immediately put with Matthews then taken off when it was evident he wasnt ready. Fans were in Nylander buzz not paying attention to a 3rd liner who had provided an edge to start the season even though he wasnt scoring in his limited mins. So off to Vancouver he went and the Leafs were never the same. Babs wasnt a fan of Leivo but his team mates were. Is it possible they quit on the coach after he was dealt?
