More importantly, what lessons are drawn from the series and how has the team changed. We forget about how much better they are defensively from last year, especially compared to TBL. They went into that series 19th in goals against. Tampa was 6th. Right now, Tampa is 19th and the Leafs are 4th and have significantly upgraded their defensive strength in the last week or so. (Also helps that Samsonov is at or near the top of the league in saves from high danger situations.) - Canada Cup
Very much hope that continues into the playoffs.
Is their a ranking for the high danger situations? If so, what's the Leafs comparison from last season to this?

its also weird that they are on pace to have less points than last season.
they may end up around the same, but with improved Goalies and D, they are about the same...points wise/pt%
Hearing action is starting to pick up around Blues defenceman Colton Parayko. Alberta boy with a ton of term remaining. $6.5 million cap hit through 2029/2030. Stay tuned.

Adding a top pair RD would bump Brodie down to play with McCabe and Lilly down to play with Gio. Or a top 4 RD simply bumps Lilly down to play with Gio (edited)
What can we package now though? 24 1st is still there, some roster players, prospects etc...
Highway robbery for Dubas.
Half of McCabe's salary retained, didn't lose anyone off the current NHL roster, and Matthew Knies, Topi Niemela, Fraser Minton, Nick Robertson, Roni Hirvonen, and Nick Moldenhauer ALL remain in our system.
