Roundtable: Will the Maple Leafs win the East? How many goals will Auston Matthews score?

The Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a start that only their fans could've dreamed up, with a 6-1-0 record and a 4.71 goals-per-game average. So we're looking ahead and answering the big questions:

Greg Wyshynski, senior NHL writer: If my math is correct, based on his current trajectory, he'll score around 136 goals if he maintains a 50 percent shooting percentage, which obviously won't be an issue. But seriously, we've had 20 occurrences of a player scoring 50 goals or more since 2005 (seven of them were Alex Ovechkin), and Matthews will add his name to that list.
