Summary
Jim Hiller’s return to the Toronto Maple Leafs might be bigger than just a defensive upgrade—he once ran the powerplay under Mike Babcock, and it’s where Auston Matthews and the team’s offense peaked. While his reputation was built in LA with limited tools, NHL coaching demands adaptability, and Hiller could unlock Toronto’s offensive potential, especially on the man advantage. Darren Raddysh, with his lethal point shot, could thrive alongside Matthews and Nylander, while Matthews himself may rebound to elite scoring levels. Matthew Knies could also emerge as a surprise powerplay asset if given the chance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
