Description

I think people think this team is way better than they actually are. The top 6 forwards are very good although mikheyev is a huge question mark that can be a huge bust. Leafs also lost grit and a full time C in kadri and replaced him with kerfoot who plays half the time on the wing and has skill but completely disappears on occasions. They do have good depth forwards and they did get rid of all their bad contracts. But on d there isn’t much of an upgrade. Barrie will put up 50 points which is a upgrade on Gardiner but ceci is worse than zaitzev(I know we dumped his contract so chill) and losing hainsey and basically having no replacement for him hurts a lot as well. Then finally in net they still don’t have a backup goalie and counting on a player coming in on a pto doesn’t always work. So expect freddy to be over played and dead come playoff time!

I don’t think they’re better but everyone has opinions

I think the leafs got “marginally" better. If Berrie is Gardiner's replacement and Ceci is Zaitzev's replacement then wouldn't Muzzin be Hainsey's replacement? I know he's not going to play alongside Rielly but don't you think that's fair to say? Also whoever our backup goalie is I don't see them being worse than Sparks but I get your point and agree about Freddie and Kerfoot/Kadri, regardless I don't think we made the necessary adjustments to get past the first round of the playoffs.
