Watching the Toronto Maple Leafs come back from 3–0 down to beat the Nashville Predators 5–4 in overtime got us thinking about something that had very little to do with that game.

The article contends that previous emphasis on size under Brad Treliving and Craig Berube's system limited offensive creativity, but head coach Jim Hiller and executive John Chayka are restoring a possession-focused approach.
Additionally, the publication highlights roster turnover, including drafting Gavin McKenna and acquiring Kirill Marchenko, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Darren Raddysh. The writer suggests these changes allow Toronto to finally move on from past debates surrounding Mitch Marner and focus on the future.
