Mcdavid & Draisaitl should 1st-5th in ross race by years end.
When you have that level of top offensive focus its hard not to be a good team barring disastourous goaltending

I wonder if Anaheim dumped Fowler so they wouldn’t have to pay for his 1000 game silver stick.

The top 5 will likely be McDavid, Kucherov, MacKinnon, Draisaitl and Ranti. Same old, same old.

Demko hasn't been very good since his return.
Two games back and he got lit up in both. I'm sure he just needs to get it together after such a long layoff. To his credit Lankinen did a good job in Demko's absence.
But if Vancouver is gonna contend for the cup they'll need better goaltending than Lankinen can provide.
Anaheim unloading Fowler makes me wonder if they're gonna keep Trouba. I figured they picked him up to flip at the deadline. They won't be contenders before his contract is up but they could value his leadership to mentor their three young stud defensemen.
Hynes, Keefe, and Carbery are probably gonna be the three finalists for coach of the year.
So typical Leafy that two ex coaches are having huge success on their new teams. Berube is doing well but he wasn't brought in for regular season performance. His system has made Jenning candidates of Stolarz and Woll though so there's a lot more hope for playoffs success than there was in the past.
The prevailing theory these days is you don't need a good goaltender if the rest of the team is legit but that's not the case here.
Go Leafs Go
