Buffalo goaltending worse than last year's - so again projected bottom 5 finish. |

No. Still could be bottom 5 but goaltending won't be worse. Zero chance of that. |

I think buffalo is this year's surprise team. Not because of their goalie...but because eichel mittldestadt up front and the big addition on the blue line.
The qew rivalry is finally going to get some meat to it. |

Your starter is a career backup.....
It worked out horribly for Carolina and Darling. |

Prediction, the Leafs have two 40 goal centers this year. First time a team has done it in years, since the 90's I think.
40-40-80 season for Tavares because Marner is going to have a monster year.
40-30-70 for Matthews. Gotta stay healthy.
Kadri down to 20+ to make that possible. |

Hudson Ekynuik signed a deal with the Marlies
A 3rd round pick in 2016 and 6 foot 5 center
Has increased points every year...might be a sneaky pickup for the Leafs. |

Hutton had a good year. There wasn't really a lot available out there for long term solutions in goal.

I don't think it would make much sense for them long-term but if Buffalo had Pekka Rinne in goal this year they would be a much tougher matchup.

Way to name one example...
That aside, ever heard of Linus Ullmark? And even without him, I'll take a career backup over Lehner. He was brutal and it wasn't all the defense. It was a ton of bad goals. 1-2 per game. Often more. Can't move laterally at all, positionally unsound, can't find loose pucks, can't track the puck through traffic. And then there's any breakaway or shootout... I'd prefer orange cone in net. But he's big... |

The 25 year old who had one really good season in the minors?
The Leafs have a better version in Garret Sparks and we barely take him seriously to ever be impactful |

Every year Buffalo and Edmonton are annointed as the surprise package going into the season right from the beginning of the GMTM days. I'll believe it when under it.
Such a poorly managed organization from the top down |

Agrees that the Sabres goaltending will be better. Lehner was brutal, for all the reasons above as well as the fact that he seemed to let his emotions affect his play. Islanders needed someone I guess but the Sabres are better off. Overall it seems like Botterill made moves to change the culture and give the team a true fresh start. |

Yeah and Edmonton did go to the conference final's. I'm not saying buffalo will do it the following season...I just see them in it this season because they have been poopty so long. I got Winnipeg right last season. |

I'm the furthest thing from a Lehner supporter. I've never liked him and couldn't understand why Buffalo would trade for him, especially a 1st round pick.
But Hutton is a marginal upgrade, at best. |
