I just don't see the same SJ lineup from last year being better than CGY, even without Gaudreau. Markstrom and Sutter alone will have them in the WC conversation at worst

I think ottawa and Detroit will both compete for a wild card. I’d personally have Boston out of the picture, swap them with ottawa imo. I’d imagine you will be getting a lot of mad leafs fans on this but I like the placement, everybody else in the division other than Boston got better, the leafs got much worse imo. We shall see

Explain to me how a Bruins lineup without Marchand, Detroit, or Ottawa finish ahead of Toronto? People seem to think that Detroit and Ottawa will be better just because they have new, shiny, big pieces. Toronto already has top pieces that blow Detroits, Ottawas, and Bostons top guys out of the water. Ridiculous

wake up from the toronto spell that the hockey gods put on you the leafs arent as good as people think

Explain to me how. Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, and Rielly are miles better than Norris, Tkachuk, Stutzle, Giroux, and Chabot. They are light years better than Larkin, Raymond, Copp, Perron, and Seider... Boston is without Marchand, Grzelcyk and McAvoy for months

Philly being better than Columbus might be the hottest take of the year.

BC they will have better chemistry management etc leafs have good players yes but to heart to win especially down the stretch they will eventually have no choice but to blow up the core this team got significantly worse after the off-season losing their started for an injury prone inconsistent net minder and a young unproven goalie so yes i do think Toronto will fall below those teams IMO you leafs fans sometimes forget that cf is a website based on opinions

gotta be honest, I think your watching soccer not hockey, please watch some hockey

Im going to come back to this in a few months just to laugh at this ridiculous take

I’m going to take the rest of my life laughing at you and your entire cocky fan base constantly policing the rest of the nhl when you guys have had zero success and are draining the careers of Marner and Matthews

This is so funny now

The worst predictions ever don’t exi-

can I ask a quick question? What are you guys doing all the way back here

Dunking on your takes. I literally said in this thread that I would come back in a few months and laugh

well, you’re very dedicated to roasting people on this website that takes some real heart
