If the Blues can't win the Cup then my next wish is for the Leafs to get it Chad. Good luck. I'm just hoping that the slew of injuries the Blues sustained in Pre season doesn't kill them. Too competitive of a division to give away points early and try to dig back into it.
Ready for some hockey though
Yeah, that ain't gonna happen this year. I'll be happy for a 2-3 round run in the Playoffs. My hope is that they follow the Hawks trajectory after they drafted Toews/Kane. I'd be happy with a quasi-dynasty over the coming years. Gonna be hard though, because I think Edmonton could be on that trajectory as well. It would be great if those two - sometime in the next few years - could give us an all-Canada Final for the first time since '89.
I like the Leafs chances in the division though... Tampa should rebound - hard; Ottawa looks pretty solid. Really not sure Montreal is going anywhere but down - and that's a shame for Price. Detroit, Florida and Buffalo are still 'pretenders' imo (even though most are expecting big improvements from the Sabres); who knows how the Bruins are going to pan out, I think they're going languish in mediocrity. Potential injuries notwithstanding, there's an outside chance the Leafs could take the division, or at least 2nd.

Seriously though, you got Schenn for an overprice potential opening night scratch, that first rounder better be gold next year.

Not the first time you've screwed the pooch in a trade involving a Schenn.
