YES!!!!


well...seriously not with that D.

So...you don't like Bolland as a third line center?
I think Kadri will be a very good number 2.

Bozak is a weak number 1. Although I do like him more than most Leaf fans.

The wingers are very good....especially if Lupul can stay healthy.
- stormeyAlterEgo

Boland is a good #3.
Kadri only played at this level for about 2/3rds of last season, so we'll see how he does this year.

Lupul is very good. Kessel as well. JVR, much like Lupul, doesn't seem to be able to play a full season. Bozak.........whatever.

don't know much about Bolland but his numbers were almost identical to Grabovski's... G, A, +/-...

YES!!!!

- stormeyAlterEgo

not even with GardinOrrIs?

people say they'll be in the 6-10 grouping in the conference. not sure how that's underrating unless you think they're closer to the Bostons and Pittsburghs of the conference.

I'm just saying that they aren't definitively behind the Canadiens and Senators. And a lot of people have stricken the possibility of them making the playoffs. Some believe it to be impossible.

Gallagher will replace Gionta when he'll be out for the season with multiple muscles detachment.
- Pecafan Fan

Yeah...you're probably right.

Winnipeg looks awful in preseason.
I have tickets to the October 15 game against the Habs here.
- stormeyAlterEgo

i think both teams are as good as their goalies will be.

Both Montreal and Toronto have some questions that could lead to either a great season (playoffs) or bust.

Kadri?
Lupul and JVR health?
Bernier or Reimer?

Both Gallys?
Markov Health..and return to form?
Price?

most projections have the Leafs/Habs finishing 4/5 or 5/4 in the division.

- scotch_tape

I would agree with this, moreso for the habs.

The leafs just strike me as having a bit more punch offensively.

- scotch_tape

I don't think Bolland was really brought in for his numbers.

- WaterBoy

But who will replace Gallagher when he gets sidelined with a concussion and dislocated shoulders?

- scotch_tape

they will both be bubble teams vying for 7/8 at best in my opinion..

great locker room guy? plays jokes and snaps a towel like no other?

Kadri staying at his house? (as mandated by CBSA)

I would agree with this, moreso for the habs.

- dt99999

Yes they have more high end talent. I don't think they have a very good defence though.

I think the range should be 4-11th. Boston, Pens, and Detroit should be projected 1-3, the rest will be very close.

not convinced that Detroit is a lock to finish top 3. .

Absolutely. They may, or may not make the playoffs.

Hagreed.

- scotch_tape

I don't think so either, but a lot of people project them being there because they are Detroit.

Besides Buffalo and Florida, it's hard to know who's an absolute bottom team.
