The Toronto Maple Leafs start their quest for the Stanley Cup on Wednesday.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are ready to start the season. With Johnsson, Kapanen, Marner, and Matthews still signed with the organization, the Toronto Maple Leafs are ready to take the season by storm offensively.
Despite split opinions about the Marner contract last week, there’s no denying that it’s good the Leafs locked up one of their best players.
Dubas rid the organization of anchors like Ron Hainsey and Patrick Marleau. Making way, of course, for the supporting cast in Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson to sign new deals.
Dubas didn’t stop there. He abandoned waiting for the trade deadline to get a rental, he went ahead and shopped for that rental in the Kadri deal; Tyson Barrie, who, at $2.5 million (thanks to retained salary by the Avs) represents one of the best rentals possible.
Between all proven, presumed and upcoming talent there’s bound to be a player who will have a breakout season this year. That’s why the writing staff met this week to discuss this weeks roundtable question; “Which player is most likely to have a breakout season with the Toronto Maple Leafs?”
