Baffled by the blowback over William Nylander’s number change. He’s previously been assigned every number he’s had with the #Leafs - 62, 39 and 29. Now he finally gets to choose the number he grew up playing with, one that means something to him. Seems like that should be okay.

Look, you can criticize Kyle Dubas if you want. But what I see is a GM trying to adapt, and improve. It would be great if every move/contract was a slam dunk, but what #Leafs have done isn't working, and Dubas is willing to go other ways. Much better than standing pat.
