It was always a Mexico City expansion team...
Auston Matthews could be the face of the team, being Mexican himself..
(jokes aside, it would still make more sense to have a team in Mexico City than in Arizona..)

Look at SJS. Thornton, Pavelski and Couture. 3 center on one line and they made it work.

Just because it didn't go to well with one coach doesn't mean you can't try it again.

It's just not a good idea.. He's been a C his entire career except for when he first came to the Leafs.. It's his natural position and he's best at it. Moving players away from their natural position isn't as easy as it seems.

They brought in Lou for his experience and to bridge the relationship between all other GM's for the betterment of the team. That said, I think they are grooming Dubas to be his successor.

AW can answer that since he's a season ticket holder for the Leafs.
