A quarter of the way in, let’s evaluate how the season has gone.

Connor Brown’s 20-goal season was a fascinating one, so much so that it makes you wonder whether he could do it again.

Who has been shooting the puck, who hasn’t, and who’s getting dangerous chances when they do.

With the long and torturous road trip in the past, the Leafs have used up their banked points and are in the red.

Yes, it's possible.

No!

Sticking with what hasn’t been working lately didn’t turn the Leafs’ fortunes around. So now what?

What’s really going on with the Leafs’ centre?

How do you make a lineup with too many players to choose from?
