"The Maple Leafs have two very different outcomes with the draft lottery. They'll either have the positive outcome of picking first, second, or fifth, in which case the Maple Leafs look at a retooling of their roster."
"In that case, despite not owning their first-round pick next season, a rebuild and complete overhaul of the Maple Leafs might make more sense."
"Chayka has a history of taking risks to improve the Coyotes roster. Those trades just didn't work out well. He was also effective in stockpiling futures by taking on LTIR contracts."
The Maple Leafs face two potential outcomes from the draft lottery: a positive pick that allows for retooling or a negative outcome that necessitates a rebuild. Different GMs excel in various roles; for instance, Brian Burke was good for contenders, while Kevyn Adams was effective in finding useful players but struggled with overall team assembly. John Chayka, though not a top choice, has a history of taking risks and stockpiling futures, making him a potential fit if a rebuild is needed.
