I mean… it’s tough to argue. The Islanders have been a much improved team since Tavares left and head coach Barry Trotz took over in the summer of 2018. The Isles are currently 9-0-1 in their last 10 and are 5th place overall in NHL standings. The Leafs, by comparison, are 4-3-3 in their last 10 and 14th overall.
