I'll say 5-4 Habs, Kovy 2 goals

Then he'd be worth a 1st

I never understood why so called experts say he'll go for a 4th or a 3rd.
that's the price for a 4th liner.
no doubt in my mind he'll bring back at least a 2nd.

Leafs defense is still suspect.

Possibly. That would be good value.

If they get anything remotely close to league-average goaltending, 6-2 Leafs. Mathews with 3 goals

The Leafs d is hardly elite. We're either on par, or slightly better, IMHO.

No doubt he is worth at least a 2nd now (I'd keep him, but I will not give that advice to Montreal). However, early on the 3rd-4th speculation was reasonable considering he'd been playing his best hockey by-far in 1.5 seasons, so teams may have been worried about how long he could ride the momentum.

I also agree with that, it was hard to sell him without knowing if he could sustain it, but way things are going, he can so his value is going up.

and in OT again, why not

stop thinking the leafs are elite or anything.

They are not.

You really think that Kovy would stay here and not play for a contender?

I don't buy it.

Settle down, man. Beating MTL doesn’t exactly mean the Leafs are cup-bound

Settle down junior, your vastly superior team is only 4 points ahead of the sucking Habs.
just like last year btw.

That 2018-2019 overachieved banner does look nice in the bell center rafters

An annual highlight of HDIC is ron maclean dressing like its 15 degrees cloder than it actually is
