Will Leafs Make the Playoffs?

Nope.
Way too small, no grit, no hitting, $40M spent on forwards, defense way too soft except for Captain Morgan, Andersen is chubby and fatigues in January, Babcock fired.

They made the playoffs last year by a very thin margin because no one was chasing them from below.
If Florida has improved the Leafs will likely have a hard time.
They’re fortunate to be in the Atlantic Division. If they played in Central they’d be dead in the water.

Making the playoffs will be a breeze for them. The problem with this team is they have no grit. The only grit they have they traded away in Khadri. Brad Marchand will man handle them in the playoffs again.
This is such a ridiculously stupid question that only someone who knows nothing about hockey would ask.
A more interesting and intelligent question would have been can the Leafs get out of the first round and beat Boston.
Leafs made the playoffs last year. Throughout the year they were one of the top teams until they took a dip late in the season and having to play Holl on defense.
Leafs got rid of dead weight. They don't have a Nylander on holdout. They got rid of Sparks. Young core players are 1 year stronger and more experienced. They no longer have players in their late 30's. Spezza hasn't made the team yet. Gauthier looked better in their first exhibition game. The team overall should be better this year so yes whether they make the playoffs is a ridiculously stupid question.
The only reason they would miss the playoffs is due to injuries to key players. Which is what happened to Tampa Bay 2 years ago.
I would say without Gardiner they will beat Boston this year in 7 games and enter unchartered territory into round 2.
They are second overall behind only Tampa Bay as odds on favourite in Vegas to win it all. That alone already answers the question what people think about Leafs making the playoffs.

I think they beat Montreal by only 4 points last year. Didn't the "experts" pick Toronto to win the Cup last year or at least make the finals?
Tavares and Marner had career years last year. Will they be as good or better? Will Mathews stay healthy? Nylander? Thankfully, Morgan Rielly will most likely be Morgan Rielly and that is a good thing.
Nope, I don't vote in my own polls.
Just another idiot that thinks cause he lives in the city of Toronto he knows hockey !
The leafs are the same kind of shit they were last year . May make the playoffs but will not EVER beat Boston or Tampa cause they have zero heart and the young players only care about their wallets . Give up BUDS FANS they are shit and always will be because they are run by money grubbing cock roaches
The Leafs fuckin suck they lost 2 straight game to the Sens. The sens had more grit and more heart.
Everyone else: It's only pre-season.

Sir, you are one brave dude. You dared to criticize the "Forum's self-appointed NHL expert". Sometimes he is joined by his BFF.
