This Version of the Toronto Maple Leafs Can Achieve Greatness
Morgan Rielly
Morgan Rielly is having a great bounce back season. He is currently on pace to finish the season with 69 points. Rielly finished the 2018-19 season with 72 points in 82 games. He fell to just 27 points in 47 games the following season. He hasn’t played to same level as that 72 points season until now. Anything over 60 points should be viewed as a huge success for Toronto’s top defenseman.
Alexander Kerfoot
Alexander Kerfoot seems to have finally found his groove with the Maple Leafs. He is on pace to finish the season with 59 points. His career best is the 43 points he recorded during the 2017-18 season as a rookie. Kerfoot has yet to come close to 40 points since joining the Maple Leafs, so 50-60 points this season would be amazing.
Alex Kerfoot is having an outstanding year. Now on a 55-point pace with a team-best GF%. The Leafs have outscored the opposition 30-14 at 5-on-5 with Kerfoot for a 68% share (or seventh in the NHL among players with 400+ minutes).

Michael Bunting
Michael Bunting is having himself a great first season in Toronto. He is provided the team with the style of play they knew they were losing when Zach Hyman signed with Edmonton. Bunting is on pace to finish this season with 49 points. His previous best was the 13 points he finished with last season in just 21 games. It is safe to say that he has been a pleasant surprise for Toronto fans this season.
