They also have a well regarded prospect system plus all their draft picks AND 7 more picks in the next two drafts

- Thread starter herman
- Start date
If they're smart, they won't be mortgaging the future too soon like the Leafs did.

Berube needs to put that video on infinite loop in the Leafs dressing room.

Would love to see Landeskog play some meaningful hockey.

Meaningful games for the Leafs tonight:
Detroit @ Florida
- Detroit is 8 points back of Montreal for the last playoff spot with 5 games remaining (4 for Montreal). A regulation loss all but eliminates them (Magic point number of 1). The Leafs play Detroit for Game 82 and this will likely be a meaningless game for the Red Wings but could still affect the Leafs playoff spot.
- Florida is 6 points back of Toronto for the division lead with 4 games remaining. A regulation loss guarantees they can't win the division. The magic number is 3 points otherwise.
- Florida is 3 points back of Tampa. Tampa's magic number is current 6 to finish ahead of Florida.
- Florida is 4 points up on Ottawa. Their magic number is 5
- Florida is 7 points up on Montreal. Their magic number is 1.
Hurricanes @ Capitals
- Carolina is 4 points back of Toronto with 5 games remaining. Carolina holds the first tiebreaker with the Leafs so the magic number is 7 points. This would only matter if Carolina and Toronto were to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
- The Leafs play Carolina (5PM game so get ready for weird game in Carolina shenanigans) so that game could lock up the standings between these teams.
A best case scenario would be a Florida win in OT and a Carolina loss.
Detroit @ Florida

Yes you are right. Fixed that. It eliminates Montreal from getting to A3 and creating a Leafs A2 vs. Habs A3 matchup, but could still have a Leafs A1 vs. Habs WC1 matchup.

A Capitals win would eliminate the longshot possibility of the Leafs taking first in the conference.
That 2nd goalie was a 22-year old rookie playing in his first ever NHL game too.

dangerous looking play by Perry... which is no surprise..
This tweet prompted me to check in on how Brazeau's done since his trade to Minnesota. 17 games, 1 goal, 0 assists. Team worst 40.2% CF and team worst 38.1% xGF since the deadline. Now a healthy scratch. Too bad, was going to be a lot easier to cheer for the guy now that he wasn't a Bruin.
