Won't be Hyman, he hasn't been overachieving he's just flat out good & I think this playoffs we'll see the best of him.

My pick is Jason Spezza, he's been overachieving all year because of how much this season & team means to him, think we'll see a big playoffs from him.

Had to say Kerfoot. He elevated his game last playoffs. He potentially a top six player who'll get over-looked by the opposition focusing on the Leaf's top 6. Was surprised to see others pick him as well.

And although it might not all be through scoring, I've got a feeling when Daddy Thornton comes home from work, the kiddies on the other team better be worried because the belt is coming off.

Spezza. Guys is a heart and soul Leaf. Stepped up huge last year in that game when we were down and he dropped the gloves to turn the game around. Did well during the season and could see him being a big contributor from the 4th line these playoffs

I voted JT. Granted, he should be expected to play at a very high level, I just think he is going to be clutch for the team.

I chose Mik, but deep down I hope it's Willie who gives the Leafs 110% of his A game shift in and shift out. I really don't want to see any of that half assed effort he's sometimes guilty of.

Spezza was 3rd on the team in P60 this year behind only Matthews and Marner. I can't say I'd be surprised if he plays well as he played well all season. Best value on the team though, is him by far.

I selected Nylander.

We know what we will get from the big 3. We know what we will get from the major support staff (Foligno, Hyman, Mikheyev, Kerfoot). We know what we will get from the aging vets, and no offence to them but they are probably not going to impact if we are winning or losing a series (a game, maybe, but not a series).

If Nylander can be an impact player both offensively and on the defenisve side of the puck that is a HUGE bonus to us. For all those other guys, I think if they equal their season result we'll be fine. I think we need more than what Nylander has brought to date (this season and past seasons). We need someone to bring it, who doesn't always with consistency.

JT, Spezza, Campbell.

JT will be playing hard at both ends of the ice. He will be our MVP.

Spezza will come up clutch, and will set up and/or score some big goals.

Campbell will rock a sub 2.25 GAA and a .925+ save %.

I like making bold predictions for playoff time.

Go Leafs!!

We haven’t had him long but a switch gets turned on in Foligno’s at Playoff time. He’s going to drive opposition nuts but I think the one who will really make a name for himself is Sandin. I am hoping for a World Juniors level performance.
