you have to admit that losing 4 out of 4 times in first round playoffs as most recent track record of Leafs doesn't really help your argument..
I would agree that this team still needs some changes (said so last years as well) to be competitive in the playoffs. it's not necessarily the team with the best players that win Stanley Cups - it's the teams that have players form the best collective team group that win.
Last playoffs, best players that performed best vs Boston included Hainsey, Brown (with Nylander, Johnsson and a few other 'top players' making 0 impact). - MaximusAurelius

Dont see them affording him with Rielly and Andersen coming up in a couple years.
Especially since I read the PA may keep the cap down again next year. - Aetherial
Cap will remain low next year, but the cap will experience it's biggest increase ever teh following year. New TV deal is expected to be significant. They will have the money for Barrie, Muzzin if he wants to stay will get less money and term.

Are you counting 2013 as part of their track record, because that was a totally different team. In fact not a single player remains.
There have been changes, and there will always be changes. The important thing is to have a core that contends for as long as possible. The Leafs are looking good. |

Joseph Woll (happy birthday today!) will probably replace him in 2021-2022 season as Leafs' starting goalie. |

I 100% agree.
I think Leafs will be top10 in NHL (as for potential in winning SC) for next 10years or so.
As for the core (next 5y at least), for me that's: Matthews-Marner-Tavares-Hyman-Rielly-Dermott-Andersen (/another starter in a few years) and hopefully at least 1 of Sandin/Liljegren. The rest likely will change, but that's a really good and young core.

WTF are you talking about. Know your numbers before you make statements. The Boston series was a tight series that could have gone either way. Leafs were up 3 games to 2 with a home game 6 to win the series. Brown and Hainsey contributed exactly one assist each - your "best performers" on the other hand Johnsson had a goal and 3 assists and Nylander had a goal and two assists. Andersen who had a .922 save percentage, but Rask was better.

100% understandable why Kadri had to go; without his braincramps last 2 playoffs the Leafs could've had 2 deep runs... After all both 1st round losses was a coin toss! |

Agree, and I heard from two separate insiders that Babcock basically insisted that Kadri had to go. Making a mistake is ok, not learning from it and repeating the mistake, especially in the playoffs is hard to forgive and sets a bad example.

Doesn't matter, some Leafs fan came into the Habs thread yesterday and called last playoffs run a success for the Leafs.

sure - Hainsey and Brown in their roles should be evaluated on the point production
Johnsson and Nylander were invisible.
Andersen (as with Anaheim before, and Leafs before) in critical playoff games folds under pressure. |

It was a marginal improvement over last year, but still an improvement, even if the results were the same. |

Would you call it a success and probably equivalent to an ECF run? |

I can't answer for the unwashed masses that call themselves Leafs fans.
