Is anyone on the Leafs comparable to Crosby? Nope! is anyone on the Leafs comparable to Malkin? Nope! So the penguins had two players better than anyone on the Leafs current team.
Well, the year crosby won the cup he had 36g 85p in 80gp (at 28), matthews at 22 just scored 47 goals 80p in 70gp
That same year, malkin had 27g 58p in 57gp at 29 years old, tavares at 29 years old just had 26g 60p in 63gp
as for kessel, he had 26g 59p in 82gp at 28 years old, marner had 67p in 59gp at 23 years old, so marner is radically better
nylander vs. hornqvist isn't even close either. hornqvist had 22g 51p in 82gp at 28 years old, nylander had 31g 59p in 68gp at 24 years old
so.... you are incorrect lol
ik you're gonna come back with "leadership, playoff ability etc. etc." blah blah, point is, the leafs core is elite and arguably more talented than the 4 forwards pittsburgh ran with.
