In 2 years (probably 1 year), Liljegren will be in their roster.I could say habs were 4th in GA which makes them a SC contender now!
Really, leafs scored a lot but let a lot in. Their D is suspect. Forwards are good but Hainsey won't solve their problems.
Their goaltender is above average most of the time but not elite. They have elite forwards, that's it.
It reminds me of us in 2012-13 after we bounced back and made the playoffs. Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Eller, Pacioretty, Subban, Price...cup in no time!!
Reality will set in. Leafs may surprise within next 3 years and have a run into top 4(just like we did) but I assure you, their D just isn't good enough. Their forward group won't make up for it.
They'll make playoffs but I don't see them being far from us. After 10 years of top picks they still aren't going to dominate.
So they just need one of Rasanen, Greenway and others to complete their bottom-6 and they have a real defense.
I would trade our 2012-13 roster with the Leafs roster 2017-18 (even without the prospects) right now.
Talking about defensive prospects: Liljegren or Juulsen + Mete?
You think that their defense will be subpar with Babcock for a long time?
