2025 cup champs

 

[hamzarocks]

No, barring a McSperm Miracle

 

[Aashir Mallik]

We have a 4 year “window” (if that’s what these group can have)

Then at best a 3-5 year rebuild and maybe 2 years of contention


So no we probably don’t

 

[TMLegend]

Impossible to say. 10 years is an eternity in the sports world. 10 years ago Florida was a disaster franchise drafting #1 overall and now they're the cup champs.

Safe bet is no though.

 

[Hippasus]

I think they do. With the talent they have and re-adjustments like they're making, I think they're heading in the right direction. The stars could align for them in the next 10 years.

 

[Jumptheshark]

ten years is too long of a time frame.

5 years and my answer is no until they get a goalie who can stand on his head and win the big games

Not as long as a billion dollar corporation is the owner. They give zero fracks about winning. They hire the most incompetent people to run their franchise.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

if the playoffs were called like the regular season.. maybe.

But I’m not sure the core the maple leafs have can handle the intensity that comes with the playoffs.

 

[Crow]

No easy no. Probably not 20 because this current core doesn’t have it in them clearly, not even close, just getting worse, and it’s going to take a long time to build a new one again.

 

[olli]

No but this poll will be more lob-sided than if the same poll was done for any other team even though the leafs realistically have a higher chance than half the league.

Yeah - it's going to be really lob-sided.

I think they do. With the talent they have and re-adjustments like they're making, I think they're heading in the right direction. The stars could align for them in the next 10 years.

Heading in the right direction? A year ago they finally made it out of the first round, then this year they once again couldn't even win a round. That seems to be taking a step back, not forward.

And that doesn't even touch on the fact their core STILL hasn't shown an ability to raise their game when it matters.

So I'm not really sure what "adjustments" you're referring to, or what steps in the right direction they've taken.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Their star players have yet to take over a series and the cap space they take up puts a strain on the rest of their depth. Most likely they don’t win a Cup. We’ll see what they do post-Tavares but I can’t see how this current core gets it done.

 

[Bounces R Way]

with Brad Treliving running things?

 

[Hippasus]

@Sidney the Kidney: They just got Berube as coach, Chris Tanev as a right-shooting defenseman, OEL as another defenseman, and Stolarz as possible starter. Plus, 10 years is a long time.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Probably not, a decade is a long time though.

It’s a flawed roster with way too much money tied to 4 players. Obvious solution was to trade Marner a while ago or even beter not signing Tavares in the first place.

 

[bobholly39]

I'm genuinely surprised by Toronto's lack of playoff success so far, for what it's worth.

It's hard to predict an actual cup win - but based on their teams over the past few years, I truly believed many times they were bound for playoff success in some way. I thought they might surprise and make the finals last year for example, with the East seeming a bit more wide open than usual.

I guess what I'm saying is, their fortunes have to change at some point. So I absolutely expect them to have a monster playoff run with this core in the next 2-3 years at least once. Does that mean a cup? I dunno - unlikely, but possible.

 

[Hennessy]

If the question is, "Does team X win the Cup in the next 10 years?" the safest and most honest answer will always be "no", regardless of who X represents.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Still too soft, weak, fragile and heartless. Add a crippling mindset of management more excited over handshake respect than actually producing a contender team or accomplishing some modicum of success.

 

[ACC1224]

Just one cup?

 

[Auston Marlander]

I wouldn't bet on any team winning a cup in the next 10 years, there's too much parity and randomness to an NHL season.

 

[dalewood12]

No, I could see them maxing out at the Conference Finals.

 

[Kerberos]

No, barring a McSperm Miracle

McSperm? Keep your lockeroom bukkake fantasies where they belong you sicko.
