But the leafs wont bomb the season completely. No player in the league can bring themselves to do that. The leafs wont get taveras because they are not the worst in the league. The Islanders imo have the worst. they dont have any big names cept dipiertro. there team is not very good at all right now.

2 words for Leaf fans: John Tavares.

Why else does this lineup look like it does?

Surprised no one's brought this up.

You're also forgetting that while Poni was playing "OKAY" with Steen at his side, that pairing was something that Paul Maurice put together, and in no way means that Ron Wilson won't have something else in mind.

That is true, He is better defensivly then offensvily. But we will have to wait and see hope in all pans out.

Wilson will roll 4 lines with this team man. And Stajan will probably play a defensive role for Wilson. Stajan will kill penalties and isolate the 2nd-3rd line guys on the other team. Similar to what Draper does for the Red Wings. That way when you play a team like Tampa, if you can keep Lecavalier off the board, there's no chance in being beaten by the third line scoring a couple goals on you. Stajan will be that defensive centre I think. That would be a good role for him.

But you sound like my little brother, he loves Matt Stajan, he thinks he should be in a scoring role too, like on the 2nd line, its a possibility. I think they'll be moving around a lot this year anyways.

No way in Hell stajan plays 4th line. 3rd line at the least. if they play him, he will get close to 20 goals.

Ya, Kaberle may. But he likes to set things up, he's not really the trigger man, that will be Kubina, I see him putting up around 15 goals or so.

Antropov will break 50 for sure again, if he stays healthy he should be a lock for 60 points as the go-to offensive guy on the team now. They just need to give Nik a couple guys who can finish and can work the puck down low with him, Blake, Steen, Poni, Hagman, Bell all fit the bill.
