Leafs' Ekman-Larsson Backs Chayka Early

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson publicly endorses the team's new GM Bill Chayka, stressing their solid relationship amid a franchise desperate for playoff success. Fans remember Chayka's bold moves from his Coyotes days, and now ELM's vote of confidence hints at buy-in from a locker room that's seen too many front-office shakeups. With the Leafs' core still chasing that elusive Cup, this early harmony could signal stability or just more Toronto drama waiting to unfold.
