I would argue that they are getting beat because their defence are flatfooted. At least in those two videos.

Whatever the reason may be, it'd be helpful to try to not let them set up their DZ box.

Have Willy play left wing and match him up against Seth Jones.

Easier said than done, especially with the Leafs’ flat footed blue line.

The Leafs play so slowly with their possession based character bringing it through the neutral zone, it might be hard for them to counter that.

You've seen glimpses of it where they try to stretch defenses out, but you do not see a lot of rush chances created by the Leafs. At least not by the top 6. Everything is slow and methodical. The good thing is they have the talent and speed to switch to a run and gun offense, I just don't know that they have the appetite.
