"Goaltending is 75% of your team. Unless you don't have it, then it's 100%."--Harry Neale
Fanbase optimism about the Leafs’ forward group has just about tripled in the past year, and that’s despite trading elite scorer and Ulysses S. Grant lookalike Phil Kessel. The early returns on William Nylander and Mitch Marner have been rapturous, we have a wealth of exciting second-tier prospects, our president is Internet-flirting with the second-best goal-scorer of the decade, and we’re primed to draft Auston Matthews. This is without mentioning our shrewd extension of uber-underrated centre provocateur Nazem Kadri and the fact we still have a big, sexy thirty-goal winger for two years and few dollars.
