Oh man it Nylander has a good season, there is going to be a lot of upset Leaf fans. - senstroll
It’s a win win with Nylander haters
If he plays well the Leafs are winning lots, if he sucks balls and gets moved back to line 3 they get to laugh at the Nylander wives.

Matthews/Tavares is the sickest 1-2 punch in the NHL, including Crosby/Malkin (primarily due to age, though).
Barrie is a HUGE upgrade over Gardiner. Most forget that Barrie almost single handedly shut down the Flames offense in the playoffs... if he brings that same intensity to the Leafs during this year's playoffs, we are LAUGHING our way into at LEAST the 2nd round.
Kerfoot > Kadri. He plays much bigger than he is, he is younger, smarter and has a way better handle on his emotions. My bet is a career year alongside Moore and Kapanen to form one of the better 3rd lines in the league.
Spezza is the best 4th line C in the entire NHL.
Ceci = Zaitsev at the very least.. many would argue that he was mishandled in Ottawa.
Hainsey was a solid dman once. His tenure with the Leafs was not a balanced affair. It was really good for Hainsey in that he parlayed it into an overpayment from the Sens. It was horrible for the Leafs in that he was on the ice WAY too often, and people had this false sense of his value. Addition by subtraction.. totally agree with whoever made that comment earlier.
Speaking of addition by subtraction, am I the only one who is excited that Johnsson and Moore are going to get more ice time with Marleau gone?? These are skilled young kids who are hungry and tenacious on the puck. Split that extra 15 mins that Marleau was playing and give Johnsson and Moore an extra 7:30 of ice time a piece and watch how many more goals we score/prevent.
If we can prevent even 3 or 4 more goals across a 7 game series with this lineup (and I definitely think we can), we are going to be really excited come April, May and possibly June. We just need Freddie to stop the biscuit. And if he plays 6-10 less games during the regular season, he will be that much sharper come playoff time. Neuvirth wins the backup spot out of camp and plays 26 games with the buds, and goes 15-7-2. Big improvement over Sparks.
This team is WAY better on paper than last year's squad. Matthews is named Captain coming out of training camp, plays a full 82 games, and hits 50 goals.
JT hits around 45 goals, similar production to last year. Still the best free agent signing in the modern era.
Nylander looked super-human in the Worlds.. I see a huge bounce-back season for his first 70 point season.
Rielly takes a little bit of a production dip to 60 points, but Barrie maintains his production, so we have two 55+ point dmen.
Sandin makes the team out of camp and takes Dermott's spot while Dermott is injured. He plays so solidly as a rookie that they cannot send him back down when Dermott returns, so Dermott slots in next to him as a lefty on the right side. That pairing goes on to have a stronger season than anticipated and becomes the 2nd pairing next year when Ceci and Muzzin are gone.
Marner signs for 10M over 6 seasons and hits 100 points in his 2nd season with JT.
I agree with Craig Button when he said this is absolutely a Championship caliber team if they get the goaltending they need in the playoffs. |

I can’t stand when a hoarder calls them to come and buy stuff and then either says that’s not for sale or tacks an unreasonable price on it that effectively does the same thing |
