“I believe there are times when you talk about patience, and I still believe there are times when patience is the right call. However, when you see patterns continuing and the results not changing, you have to adjust the way you think about things,” he said.
“We will look at everything this summer and we will consider everything this summer, all with the intention of the one thing we are here for, which is to make the Maple Leafs better and win.”
