The Toronto Maple Leafs are 4-0 in the preseaon.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have added John Tavares and they have Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly.  My favorite players Nazem Kadri and Jake Gardiner remain with the team.

They are the Stanley Cup Favorites, entering the season.

They’ve got a Vezina quality goalie, and the best centre depth in the NHL.

Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson look to make up the best fourth line in the history of the NHL.  (Maybe?)

Everything looks pretty sweet.  Optimism is high.  There is every reason to believe that the Toronto Maple Leafs could win their division this year.  That they could win the President’s Trophy.  That they could win the Stanley Cup.

They could have Hart, Art Ross and Norris candidates.

In short- it’s potentially the best season ever for the team in the Blue and White.

But there are concerns.

Which is fine, everything can’t be perfect.  It probably never will be.

But there are concerns.

So let’s talk about them.
