It's not Fred.

I will speak truthfully. I hope you guys finish ahead of us this year.
- VANTEL

truthfully, i'd like to see the leafs finish last for the next 1000 years or have the franchise revoked and every piece of leafs merchandise and memorabilia burned and their name removed from the HHOF and all NHL history books...

oh and their fans beaten senseless until they forget the team...

As I see the Western division is quite straightforward.
Each team is on its own curve n trending accordingly.
Teams on top Eg Anaheim n on the rise Eg Calgary n
the teams rebounding Eg LA n those on a retool/rebuilds
Eg Vancouver/SJ then Edmonton.

The Canucks r creating real openings for picks/prospects
to win a roster spot. Not what the past has offered for
quite some time.
Corrado is one example on D n 1-2 Forward chances.
The moving of aging n pricey players is underway n with
Hamhuis n Vrbata on their last contract year TDL or offseason
trades could be in the offing.
Injuries also happen n will test our depth n where the talent
on the farm is actually at when tested.

As for the likely 23 man roster the 2015-16 season success
will rely on 2 things IMO. D play in front of Miller n Miller
himself finding another gear. Thats a tall order but thats the
dividing line of makin or missin the playoffs next season.
Other factors such as Horvat/Sutter/Baertschi will say much
a out where the Canucks sit now n the nearer future.
The bigger picture is where JV n CC n McCann can grow into
the Pro game in how soon.
JV this year or next i think.
CC has the all around game but a season or 2 in the AHL will help.
McCann is 2-3 years away unless his pedigree is truly for real.
Demko has the time to season in move up in a few years.
Lacking top D prospects is a hole thats hardest to remedy.
Hutton/Subban n maybe a surprise darkhorse r all we have atm.
Grenier's rise has been great n Shinkaruk/Gaunce/Jensen need to
follow suit soon.

I am wondering how our d works out.

Grenier sounds like an interesting story. He has paid his dues n the minors for 3 seasons and looks ready for a shot with the big club.

Honestly i don't think I've heard his name. Could be wrong.

Is he on the 4th with that Stephens guy?

He is # 14 . Look for a player tall enough to play in the NHL. I know you guys like watching the short ones


Did you hear our first rounder this year scored 3 goals today

This is awesome. Hockey in Augst

For the 1st time...perhaps ever....the Leafs are doing it right. Going to be years away. But they stockpiled alot of picks last draft, including trading down twice in the 1st rd. They are well on their way. Nylander and Kapanen aren't A prospects but they will good players. Marner I believe in. I think Hunter is a smart guy and knows what he's doing. The leafs also have what the Canucks don't.

Morgan Reilly.

I go to bed at night dreaming of Benning selling off potential ufa's (at next TDL) for picks and or prospects. Swimming in picks, drowning in picks, hoarding of picks....

One can always dream.

Nice to hear about Boeser today. He can rip that puck. At the draft, in the interview with Stromboliopolouisaloo. Benning almost creamed his trousers when talking about Brocks goal scoring ability,

Sounds like he's already good enough to be in the NHL. 3 goals? In one day?

Bang him with the Sedins amd you'll be laughing.

Yeah, us Leafs fans had to get used to small players when we were told big meanies where no longer allowed in the league. Oh well, hopefully one of Marner or Nylander pan out as 2nd line wingers.

I'm more excited bout this Dermott kid. Looks like a Frankie Corrado in the making.
