Could only do 30 choices so Hawks have been left out.

Interesting number one choice in this poll.
That seems to be the common sentiment from almost everyone on this site (save for a few very, very vocal Leaf zealots). I don't really know if they qualify as over rated when the majority of folks seem to agree that is what they are.Overall I'd say the Leafs. Unreal offensive team that will fill opponent's nets all regular season. They will probably have a few 40+ goal scorers, and a handful of point/game players.
Then the playoffs will start and they will once again realize you need defence to win, and that going for the 7-5 win won't work here.
Every hater calling them overrated until they come into your barn and stomp a 6 goal mud hole on your candy asses!

How many playoff series have they won in the past decade again? I can't seem to find any information on their series wins...?
People aren't denying they are a good team that can light it up offensively. They are "overrated" in the sense that they are being portrayed as "Cup contenders" but until they learn how to win games 3-1 and 4-1, they are going nowhere when it matters.
That has NOTHING to do with anything. The core has been around for 2-3 years and I have threads I can bump up from 2016 asking if the Leafs will make the playoffs in Babcock's 8 years.How many playoff series have they won in the past decade again?

No bias at all in this one.
Just a Sens fan creating a poll about which team is the most overrated and coincidentally making the Leafs the first option.
Nothing here to see at all, completely objective, move along now.
Hawks would have been a much more viable option than say.. the Islanders, Panthers, Sabres, Avalanche, Rangers, Canucks, Canadiens, or Hurricanes just off the top of my head.

You would not even care 1 bit if they had one a playoff series anyways.
And you are delusional if you think the Leafs can't be considered a cup contender. There are teams being picked to WIN the cup by analysts who MISSed the playoffs last season! (Nick Kypreos picks the Blues to win the cup).
They had 105 points with Matthews/Marner/Nylander all 21 and under and added Tavares.
Complete HF myth.I voted for the Leafs because they're being built up to be a can't miss Cup team by a ton of the media and fans. The Bolts, Panthers, and Bruins are pretty stiff competition in that division. The Leafs could very well barely make it in as a wild card.

For anyone saying the Leafs - I'd like you to post a link to even ONE single pre-season prediction of the Leafs even finishing first in their division, let alone winning the Cup.
