45pts in 19 games.

Jesus....

At a certain point you start to think he'll just straight out make the Leafs next season.

I don't think they're tanking next year by holding guys back. They admittedly did that last year.

Disgraceful. Not even close to a foul.

Lowry has struggled these playoffs, but I'll give the guy credit - he wants the ball and he isn't afraid to miss a shot. The guy has balls.

As for DeMar?

He's been the globetrotters this year. Unfortunately after the Mem Cup. He'll only have just over 2 1/2 months to rest and train for camp. I don't think he sticks right away.

When I've seen him he hasn't been physically overpowered/dominated. He's shown lights out offensive skills and instincts and more than solid defense.

And with Matthews and possibly other additions it's not like he would be an isolated star prospect having to play top line or anything. What a weird time to a Leafs fan. They could actually shelter Marner next year. They really went from nothing to something.

I doubt Babcock even knows what he's gonna do at this point. Tough call. They don't necessarily need him right away.

Easier to bring guys along when they aren't the sole guy.....the spotlight isn't one just one guy. Marner and nylander and Matthews, spread it out. And if they get stamkos all the more.

Yeah if they take a big step forward great, if not they'll be patient and take more pain.

I think there are way too many bumholes in that interview. 3 too many to be exact.

Yeah, and with Kadri, JVR, Rielly a year older...starts to look interesting. Not to mention Brown, Sosh. And the Komagod.

Toronto teams winning playoff games recently, so weird. It's like seeing a herd of sasquatches.

Didn't Kessel have the option to veto a trade to a team that he did not want to go to? If so, the leafs were limited in terms of teams they could have discussed trade with for Kessel. Extremely difficult to win a trade when you can only trade him to 8 teams who are already up against the cap. Given the circumstances, this was a deal that benefitted both teams and helped the leafs obtain the lottery pick this year which was vital in their rebuild.
