The organization isn't in a bad spot, but it doesn't look like it can take a step forward without taking a step back and re-organizing its cap structure and core group. Maybe it sounds like an overreaction because they are underachieving and have run into some injury trouble, but I really do think the core mix isn't right and the personalities are wrong.

Lol exactly, the points the OP makes are actually mostly right.
Not sure if it’s done done, but I agree with the last part, we’re going to be in a battle for a playoff spot.
We're fine. Jesus, this board needs to chill. Too many people losing their **** over nothing.
Go see some family, call a friend. Get some air.

Maybe. But TBH with you, I can’t say that I disagree with a lot of what he said.
yeah hes right on a couple things but to yell the sky is falling after Game 13 is a little outrageous.

They’ve been a .500 team for awhile now. It’s not like they are in a rare slide. This is who the Leafs are. A bubble playoff team.

This is most certainly who we are at the current moment. Unfortunately, our potential is so much higher, that’s the really frustrating part.

You can use last years numbers all you like...rather meaningless really. Lot's of new faces. Also,don't you think the team will at least be a bit better with the return of the 3 regulars that are due to come back soon? They might need a few games to get up to speed,but should be a positive influence. The b2b 's really do suck...not the bet excuse but this schedule does seem unusually difficult. They haven't been practicing! All these new guys and no practice? I think the team will be better going forward.
13 games into the season the Leafs have a slightly better record than the Blues had 13 games into the season last year or the Capitals had 13 games into the season the year before.
But, I wouldn't put much into that because while the Blues and Capitals didn't have good records they looked pretty good. The Leafs don't have a good record this year and they look like they should have a worse record.

Needed a new coach since losing round one again last year. Its just a ricochet. Well the babcoch shoots blanks so we’ll call it a resonator of failures past from him 
He has to go and soon. Keefe would turn this around quick. I’m not gojng to harp on it but its true, babcock sucks.

We don't have any unmovable pieces other than maybe Tavares because of the NTC/captaincy. If this isn't the right group, we're in a good spot to retool or rebuild especially with how strong our farm system is already.

I don't understand the narrative that this team has no depth when our depth players have been a huge reason why we have even won as many games as we have. Our depth is among the best in the league, and they have been holding up their end of the bargain. It only gets better once we are fully healthy.
The 4th liners have consistently shown up. Even when they've had rough shifts they usually turn it around quickly. Mikheyev has been amazing. Moore has been solid all of the time with flashes of brilliance. Kerfoot has been a pleasant surprise. Kapanen has really turned it around since his poor start. Johnsson is really the only one leaving me wanting a bit more, and Spezza should not be anywhere near the top 12 once Tavares and Hyman are healthy, but if this is the Leafs having "no depth", then I guess few, if any, teams have any kind of quality depth.

lol what if we don't have family or friends. Maybe the Maple Leafs are our family and friend. Then what do we do? I guess just discuss. Like Auston says, sometimes you gotta yell at your family. Some of these posters are yelling at their 'family'. I don't mind tbh. Seems we care more about team than the players.
