The 2010-2011 [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) season came to a disappointing end last night. A 4-1 loss, even in a game with nothing on the line, is not the best way to end the year. But for a team that worked and fought so hard to climb back into the playoff race in the second half, I don't think we should be too bummed. There's a lot to like about Toronto's performance over the past three months.

At the same time, there are also a lot of questions moving forward, especially in terms of personnel. The Leafs currently have more than the 50 SPCs allowed under the CBA, which means some expiring contracts simply won't be back in September. Players such as [Mike Zigomanis](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55400/mike-zigomanis?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Aaron Voros](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54204/aaron-voros?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Joey Crabb](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55456/joey-crabb?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and [Jean-Sebastien Giguere](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54527/jean-sebastien-giguere?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will likely be looking for new employment on July 1st. The Leafs continue to make the organization younger, and there simply aren't enough roster spots between the Leafs and Marlies for everyone. In addition to the players already added over the past week, others like [Jesse Blacker](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/107968/jesse-blacker?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Jamie Devane](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/122152/jamie-devane?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will make the jump to the AHL next year as well. It's going to be a very interesting summer in Toronto.
