Make a bold prediction about the Leafs

[hamzarocks]

Leafs have a very strong season, and all of the negative people disappear for some time.

Negativity only disappears if they do something in the playoffs, regular season is pretty irrelevant, though a 1st place finish in the division would be good reason for expectations of a deep playoff run

 

[Marshy]

Linemates Matthews and Nylander combine for 100 goals - Kase and Robertson spend more than 30 games each on their line.

Ritchie Tavares Marner is a top 5 line in the league.

Keefe wins the Adams.

 

[Gilles Meloche]

Kessel will be reacquired at the TDL

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Campbell has couple of bad games and the stress from it turns him back into what he was before last season.
Leafs miss playoffs

 

[zeke]

Cup, baby.

 

[Cleetus]

Josh Ho-Sang comes into camp and wins a spot, pots 20 goals

 

[lovemyleafs]

marner gets traded midway through the season

 

[hoglund]

We get to see a series win broadcasted in widescreen

I already saw that in 2004.

You do realize that Campbell was a career .914 before this season right? That’s pretty decent.

 

[sittler rules!!!]

Second last place finish in the division. Slightly ahead of Buffalo. Keefe fired before Christmas by Dubas in attempt to salvage job and season. Dubas fired by Shanny at end of season. Corporate asks Shanny to resign.

 

[The CyNick]

Kessel will be reacquired at the TDL

Would be good to finally bring in a proven winner and someone who cares about winning

 

[banks]

Dubas goes against his MO and doesn't trade picks at the TDL. Team plays better in the playoffs and goes deep.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

nah I didn't realize that. pretty decent. I dunno he's just too nice of a person. losses start to pile up I feel he will be his own worst enemy.

Guy was putting the blame on himself when he wasn't to blame.
I hope I'm wrong. But we just aren't meant to have success.

It is bold. Look at their division. They aren't the 2nd best team.

Look again.

They are.

 

[ottomaddox]

Auston Matthews doesn't score 50 goals due to wrist surgery, but plays well in the last 2/3 of the season.

The Leafs win a playoff round.

John Tavares becomes the 1st leaf since Dave Andreychuck to score 50 goals in a season.

 

[Menzinger]

Brennan Menell will prove to be a better than #7 level D man

 

[Canadian Finn]

won't make the playoffs.

might finish below Buffalo.

 

[4thline]

edit- delete

 

[nuck]

Marner has been doing curls all summer and shows up in camp with wrists like John Cena!

 

[4thline]

One of Bunting/Ritchie/Kase plays well enough to see a significant UFA extension.

 

[Racer88]

Marner fight Marchand……..and wins then Gallagher challenges him for the lightweight championship

 

[BlueForever75]

One of Bunting/Ritchie/Kase plays well enough to see a significant UFA extension.

Well in both Ritchie and Bunting cases they are on 2 year deals so they wont be UFAs

 

[4thline]

Well in both Ritchie and Bunting cases they are on 2 year deals so they wont be UFAs

I didn't say next offseason. Kase is an RFA. I'm saying that over the next couple years one will emerge as a strong top 6 option

 

[kb]

won't make the playoffs.

We didn't say impossible, we said make a bold prediction.

I didn’t know Kase was an RFA after this year. That’s pretty nice if he can stay healthy.
