It’s no secret the Toronto Maple Leafs play in the NHL’s most competitive division, that being the Atlantic. Every year this division puts on great playoff series and down-to-the-wire finishes for the final wild card spots, and I expect no different this upcoming season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to win this ever-competitive division, however, they have had some trouble winning division titles recently.

With the exception of the 2020-21 COVID-shortened season, where the Leafs won the North Division, they have not won one division title since 2000.

Maybe this year will be different.

The Leafs will be in tough if they want that division title, as there are realistically 7 teams in the Atlantic that could make the playoffs.

While Toronto is essentially a lock for the playoffs, it will be very entertaining to watch how the rest of the division plays out.

Here are my way too early predictions for the 2023-2024 NHL’s Atlantic Division.
