How do you figure?
Toronto legitimately has 4 players better than their best player.
Mark Stone is a similar level player to JT/Marner/Matthews. He is older so probably less valuable and low future value but right now he is in the same tier as those guys.

Plus they have better forward depth than us. We got better defense and goalies right now flower> Andy thogh they're close

We have one of the worst atmosphere in the league. Its a public library
Correct and that should favour the Leafs. Vegas plays in front of one of the best, if not the best, hockey fans in the NHL.

Marner/Nylander/Kerfoot/etc stealing the puck from Reaves and blowing past him:

Ah yes yes. Just like Mathews was able to skate past Dillon. And Barrie/Tavares was able to skate past Tom Wilson, etc etc.

Ryan Reaves is an everyday player for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, who was your 2017-2018 Stanley Cup Champions...All while Marner/Nylander/Kerfoot watched from home.

Put some damn respect on Ryan Reaves's name. The GOAT

Is this a Vegas GDT or a Leaf GDT?

Good lord, some of you people. They're 1 point off of us, and have had less injuries and a much easier schedule. Leafs are 8-2-2 in front of Andersen playing well below his abilities.

If all you have to say is Leaf-bashing nonsense, GTFO.

We have poopy fans and they're all not at SBA on game nights.

No way Reaves will be put in a situation to even have to think about defending Matthews et al. That dude is far too slow for that.

It is odd that we can look up to a team in their third year and hope that we can have what they have.

Career high of 64 points.

Career high of 28 goals.

He's a decent player but give your head a shake.

Fixed.lol Honestly though, 2 for sure, when everyone is playing their best 3 or 4 isn’t out of the question. So you are not wrong. Coaching, depth players, backup goaltending, all have big impacts too.

This fanbase is so negative.

I can't imagine a hockey fan that played hockey being very excited by the loser brand hockey on display here. They can't even cover the loser brand style up with an impeccable record. Babcock basically said they are finding themselves, what are the MLSE brand snowflakes?

Loser hockey is loser hockey. Most hockey guys I know are not very interested in this team. Shocking.

Good for you and your "Hockey Guys".

Playing the game or not doesn't matter. Plenty of smart hockey minds aren't players.

This fanbase is negative no matter what happens. Toxic atmosphere honestly.

Loser brand of hockey ? what the hell does that even mean ?

If that's the case than Matthews is being paid 11.6 million as a 73 point player.

Look at gp, linemates, usage stone has had. He has been a elite player on both sides of the puck. He is overrated if you think he is clearly ahead of the 3 leaf players. But he is right on track with them right now.

Matthews has had 40 , 34 and 37 goals in his 3 years.

If a player has lower point totals, but tons of goals it's 1 thing, but for a player to have average totals and average goals, he isn't on the same level IMO.

IMO Stone is not elite, he is a good player.
