Right after being bounced out of the first round, the Maple Leafs held an end of year media presser. Leafs management has hinted at a potential change within the core four.

In today's media presser, Brendan Shanahan and the Leafs management had to answer difficult questions regarding the future of the organization. They also hinted at a change to the Leafs core after yet another unsuccessful playoff run according to Chris Johnston.

Without saying it explicitly, the #leafs leadership/management couldn't have made it more clear reading between the lines that they're going to explore moving one or more members of their core this summer

Safe to expect drastic changes will be coming out of Toronto this summer with big names on the move.

Out of the core four the most likely ones seem to be Mitch Marner or John Tavares as William Nylander and Auston Matthews are signed to extensions long-term with the team.
