The Leafs could conceivably play two modes in the same game:
fun possession E-W skill puck with active D drives and slot funnel attacks, and then flip to dump and chase and low-to-high blast from the point for tips and junk.

They are banking on a lot of offensive zone starts for Matthews and a return to his 60ish goal form I guess.

What temperatures are they maintaining the office wing of the Ford Performance Centre? Today was unpleasantly warm and these guys are strolling around in multiple layers (so many quarter zips)

Probably like a meat locker in there.

A bit deeper into their careers but cap has gone up so… fair?

 

[Bender]

On one hand I like what they've done in that they don't want Matthews to be playing hard defensive matchups but looking at teams like Florida and Colorado it's hard not to think only the first two lines will be scoring and even the second line with Tavares will be a question mark. Did we need a $7M Bob if we put that into a $4M goaltender and prioritized trading for a 2C?

It feels like a lot of moving parts still. You still
jam in a Norris trophy winner if you can get him.

He's decided to stay in Columbus

I've got a bridge to sell you too.

Maybe you can sell it to Werenski
I won't buy it because after his statement, I doubt he is going anywhere else any time soon.

I would also wonder, after the UFAs Toronto signed today, even if Werenski changed his mind about going somewhere else, whether he would continue to consider Toronto as a destination where he could win compared to other alternatives.
