Could the Leafs win the Cup this time? Team bosses think so

It’s almost game time again for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

“Our goal is the same as yours. We want to deliver a championship year,” general manager Dave Nonis said at a town hall meeting with the team’s season ticket holders at the ACC on Wednesday night.

Nonis said they’re not going to trade away good young players to make that happen. Instead, he said they’re going to wait for the deals to come to them.

Some of these longtime ticket holders told CityNews they’re feeling good.

“We almost made it past Boston last year, so there’s no reason we can’t make it farther this year,” one fan said.

The first game of the season is on Tuesday in Montreal. The team will hit the ice at home on Saturday Oct. 5.
