The Toronto Maple Leafs are having one of the best regular seasons in franchise history.

Not only are the Toronto Maple Leafs competing for a second straight division title and the first President’s Trophy in franchise history, but Auston Matthews is leading the league in goals, and trying to win the team’s first post-expansion Hart Trophy.

A fun part of being a sports fan is making predictions on how teams or players will perform in any given season. Doing so as a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs takes things to a whole new level.

Every prediction made by fans or the media receives either praise or scrutiny. Sometimes they will receive both. No matter what, it is all just part of the fun. The majority of predictions get made before the start of the regular season.

Other predictions happen close to the trade deadline as fans and media speculate on what teams will do. Teams will either be looking to upgrade their rosters for the playoffs or trade expiring contracts for future assets.
