But the team's good, apart from the G, which is a very big question mark
Uh. Theodore and Ellis are very much better than Jones
TDA and Jones is a toss up imo, I put TDA above him because I prefer elite offense over mediocrity

Are we talking about the same Seth Jones? Cause he’s a top 10 d man in the league and that isn’t even a question.
This would be the best D corps in the league and would make it easy for the goaltending to make stops. Bottom 6 forwards are a bit lacking. I’d put a bet on them being a conference finals team but I wouldn’t be shocked if they won it all
He literally allows everyone and their cousins to enter the zone. He is always scrambling,
Wrong. And even when that happens he keeps them in the periphery, not allowing them prime scoring chances. He and Werenski basically defeated the Leafs by themseves but keep believing your dream

I dont think you remember the fact that Korpisalo was a cement wall in the playoffs and that the Leafs had a historically low SH% indicating that they had horrible puck luck. Also didnt help that their best defenseman this year was injured
Yeah, I think those are the two holes the team has
But I think Karlsson/Danault are both top line centres.
Having Huberdeau who is mainly a winger, but can play shifts as a centre will be a plus
If they are both top line centers, its on the very tail end. You have roughly an average 1-2C situation, cause I think both hover around #30 in the league.
I think this team is a playoff team but not much more.
Josi, Hamilton, Hedman, Petro, Spurgeon, Ellis, McAvoy, Theodore, Carlson, Slavin, Rielly theres a bunch of others as well
Definitely a solid list there, but I feel like there is a case for Jones over Reilly, Theodore, Spurgeon and maybe Ellis, but I see where you are coming from. Guess it comes down to what type of play style you prefer.

Rielly had an injury riddled down year where he underperformed his xGF/60. While Jones who was also injured for a while, overperformed his xGF numbers
Expect Jones to regress a bit offensively while Rielly should improve

I get that the centre situation is kinda dry, but I think the team is capable of making a deep run
Vegas had Karlsson and made the WCF this year, so its not like they are incapable of making a run. Plus I think that the players they are surrounded with really benefit their playstyle and will bring out the best in them
The blueline is stacked. I think this team will go as far as Riemer can take them

How many great saves did he make during games 1 and 5? Four maybe? His defense, which was led and carried by Jones/Werenski kept the Leafs from having dangerous scoring chances
