The failure of the Toronto Maple Leafs to make the playoffs for a seventh straight season means that more tinkering is likely on the way over the summer months. The question that Toronto fans might be asking themselves right now is simply, where to start? What needs to be fixed first on the Maple Leafs? The first big change has already been made - that is, the replacement of Ron Wilson as head coach by Randy Carlyle. And speaking of team management, what about the future of team president and general manager Brian Burke? Some Leafs fans have been calling for the GMs job, frustrated that he has yet to lead his team to the post-season since arriving in Toronto in 2008. The review of leadership may also continue with Dion Phaneuf. Named team captain prior to last season, hes endured his share of criticism for everything from his style of play to his ultra-quiet team leadership. He even topped a Sports Illustrated player poll this January that named him the most overrated player in the league. Is it time to ship Phaneuf out of town or choose a new player to wear the C? As for the rest of the team on the ice, many observers would start in goal and work outwards. In the weeks before he was fired, Wilson himself called into the question the quality of play provided by incumbents James Reimer and Jonas Gustavsson. Is it time to consider Toronto Marlies backstops Jussi Rynnas and Ben Scrivens for promotion next season? Or should Toronto start shopping for a new goalie? The Leafs blueliners stood up well in the first half of the season, but holes began to appear as Toronto went on a cold run through much of February and March. Toronto ranks 28th in the league in goals allowed, which suggests that improvements to both goaltending and defence may be in the cards. And up front, Burke has made it no secret that he desires another top-six forward for his team. Leading scorers Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul are both wingers, and only one of Torontos centres - Mikhail Grabovski - has managed to crack the 20-goal plateau this season. So theres a need for enhanced firepower, a stronger blue line, and room for improvement in the goal crease. So what needs to be fixed first on the Maple Leafs? Its Your Call! cheap jerseys .
