In a social media post captioned "La fin. #LeafsForever," Bissonnette's expression spoke volumes about his emotions following the loss.
While he didn't directly criticize any players, he has been vocal about Mitch Marner's struggles with production. With speculation rising about Marner's future with the team, especially after the Game 7 defeat, more fans and analysts are questioning if this marks the end of his tenure in Toronto.
Despite Marner's no-move clause (NMC) potentially complicating any moves, there's a chance for candid discussions, particularly with a contract extension looming. The offseason promises to be eventful as the Leafs reassess and make potential changes.
In summary, while the pain of defeat is evident, the offseason holds uncertainties and opportunities for the Leafs.
