Quoting: Leafsfan98
There won't be a world where the Leafs are worse that the Sens... Remember, the Leafs lost their entire defensive core due to injuries last year and were still better than Ottawa...
You should start preparing yourself mentally, looks like you'll need it. Yes the Leafs have been better in the regular season the last 6 years (and last season in the playoffs) but prior that, The Sens blasted them out of this world for a dozen years

If it were only once, I would take it as trolling... But this is multiple times...
Well, I wouldn't know as I don't keep track of that. I'm there to talk about hockey

Then you'll still have to fill his hole and upgrade somehow... It's going to cost something to do that... And JDB will take the Lilly/Sandin/Hague contract bc everyone's been doing that...
JBD won't be as good as these, at least not right away. He's going to be for a while a 3rd pairing defensive D-man who isn't that physical
Here's what the team will look like next season :

Brännström will most likely be traded to make space for Kleven. Can afford a pretty forward upgrade... Say you trade Brannstrom, Joseph (who will have positive value again) and picks/prospects... you have near 8 M$ of cap space to replace Joseph in the Top-9
