A strong blue line and goaltending will keep them in games.

I agree they'll probably be closer to a playoff spot than some thing. They get overlooked because they had such an awful start to last season.

They're in a late career Mats Sundin Leafs era now imo. Not bad enough to get Bedard types, not good enough to make the playoffs. It's a bad combo

That would make our D less playoff prepared. Murray is sweating enough I'm sure.

Unless you include moving a core player our offence is 34, 16, 88, 91. Thats it, next up is Engvall at 2.2M after Kerf goes to make cap.

The Leafs D-corps is very strong as of right now. Replacing Muzzin with Sandin for a full season might be less playoff ready but it’s a better bet long term. Gio was phenomenal last year and he can play 2LD with any of the Leafs RD: Brodie, Liljegren, Holl.

If you are implying that getting Henrique over Kerfoot makes the offense worse than I disagree.

I think the Islanders won't make the playoffs but I also think you're correct the GF will increase.

Not because they got better, simply because the coaching changed. I expect them to be a little more wild and adventurous without Trotz there.

There certainly is a weird obsession for some, I could see if they were rivals but......
I think we can chalk it up to a coping mechanism.

Personally i have always kinda liked them.. love pelech and watched them alot the past few years. Cheered for them against tampa.. always had a soft spot i guess

A lot of the east teams i either dont like or am so meh about but always check on them and watch some of their games

They achieved more than the sum of their parts the last few years. There are some players on their D, that you'd love to have on our D core Pelech and Mayfield for example, would be nice compliments on our team. It is funny, how people want ex-Leafs to fail so often though.

I was happy with the Blues win.
That Bozak helped them get over the hump was just a bonus.
Bozak seems to do okay in the playoffs ... Boston game 7 would have been nice ...
Even this year scored a big goal in overtime and he's barely standing now.

You know who would be a good addition, Ryan Pullock. Now I don’t see a reason for the Islanders to move him, but inserting him, signing Sandin and moving Holl and Muzzin might be positive moves for us.
 
Would have loved to have Stastny with that contract. He seems like someone that would have paired really well with Robertson and be a great mentor.

Stastny just signed with the Canes for 1.5 x 1. Seems like a great deal for the Canes.

There will likely be some kind of performance bonus attached, but the base seems about right.

Colorado is going to need to hurry up and find some guys who can help replace Kadri though, or else they may need to turn to us for Kerfoot.

Kessel, Rodrigues, and Milano are still out there.

Would still very much like to see ZAR or Motte pickup up to flank NAK on that 4th line. I really like the idea of deploying some fast, tenacious forecheckers that will cause some havoc.

The only downside is that the Leafs can probably use offense (i.e. Milano) more than someone like them. You would have to be really sold on their defense and ability to play on that shutdown line so that Engvall can play on the Jarnkrok line.

Rodrigues would be a perfect fit for 2C on the Avs. I'm surprised that deal didn't get done the moment Kadri signed.
