NHL insider Darren Dreger shared his view on the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. He talked about the team’s five-game losing streak. Their record dropped from 8-6-1 to 8-9-2 after this stretch. They lost 5-3 to Boston twice, and in between, a 5-4 defeat to Carolina. They also lost 4-3 in overtime to Los Angeles and 3-2 at Chicago.Dreger said the players are not following Craig Berube’s system. He said the coach and GM are doing their jobs, but the roster is not committing to the way they need to play."What I don't understand is why and how the leaps don't get it," Dreger said. "... You know, Craig Berube, as we talked a lot about, has a very, just a very direct way of coaching and a very specific way he wants and expects his players to play, and that philosophy is shared by the rest of the bench, by management,""... But you're in a world where you know two things are colliding. You've got a roster that seemingly doesn't want to play that way, doesn't want to commit to playing that way. And you know what, fellas, here's the most damning part. There's nothing you can do about it."Dreger said Treliving has limited options to fix the situation. He explained that trades will not bring the return the Maple Leafs need. He mentioned Nick Robertson as an example. Robertson asked for a trade in 2024 but stayed with the team. Dreger said the Leafs need Robertson now because there are not many options."The reason the Maple Leafs have Nick Robertson still in their lineup is because Treliving did not want to give him away," Dreger said. "And now, in the last number of games, Robertson has responded. Maybe there's a bit more interest, but the Leafs need him.Dreger said this is why Treliving’s job is so difficult right now. He needs changes, but cannot force major moves."So who is it? Which player is going to attract a piece coming back that you, you know, is going to play the way that you need the team to play?" Dreger said."So he's an example, and maybe he helps turn the fortune, that player right now, just a whisker under 20 games, isn't out there, just not out there, and then Toronto is not in a position to overpay. So there you go. That's why Toronto is where it's at."The Maple Leafs must find a way to play with better structure. The Leafs will need improvement from within the current roster, and only then can they move out of this slow start.Toronto Maple Leafs' struggles despite major offseason changesThis offseason, Brad Treliving was quite active in the market. He added Matias Maccelli, Dakota Joshua, Nicolas Roy, Michael Pezzetta, and Henry Thrun. However, the team had to part ways with Mitch Marner, Pontus Holmberg, Max Pacioretty, Ryan Reaves, and even President Brendan Shanahan.Initially, Toronto hoped these moves would help improve the roster because they were exiting the playoffs early with the previous roster and management. Still, despite the changes, the early results have not matched those expectations.The Maple Leafs' record continues to fall, and they are allowing 3.79 goals per game, which is near the bottom of the league. William Nylander and John Tavares have kept the team's offense alive, with a 3.53 goals per game. However, issues in the net and blue line must improve to match that output.
