Toronto gave what they had

[Steve 1,920]

Well our season is over being kicked out of the playoffs in the conference finals. Toronto made an impressive run and we aren't hanging our heads over the playoffs. We were a solid mid tier team that played really well at times. We have our work cut out for us as we prepare for next season. We should have some youth coming up that will be a good lift in time. I am not sure about any moves that might happen but we are a player or two away from having a solid team. All those things are what make a GM's job really hard. Finding the right fit and then being able to deal for a player looks to be an interesting circle jerk that I am glad to be no part of.

 

With a couple more seasons with Toronto, Merrick will have a chance to develop and see how well he will perform with a bigger role. No matter what team John plays on, almost, he will work hard each week to develop into a top tier player.
