Did you hear leafs got Tavares?

Strong team. Looking at STL TAMPA TOR WINNIPEG AND PTT lineups they are all ready to win now teams.

id say TBL, TOR, WPG, PIT, WSH, BOS, DAL, PHI have better offense than STL. STL's offense is top 10, but definitely not the best in the league

I wouldnt even put them as the best offensive in the division. (and no I am not saying the Avs), Then jets have a way nastier group of forwards than the Blues.. intersecting convo comes to are they Preds or Blues forwards groups better

Blues have a pretty deep forward group but outside of Tarasenko there are no game breakers. It will be inserted to see what ROR can do in a reduced roll. He was getting top minutes and top pp time to produce his offence, which he really wasn't scoring 5v5 at all. Curious to see how they use him this year and what his stat lines

Same goes to Bozak, to get offense out of him, historically the leafs has to play him heavy minutes in heavy O zone starts. On top of both these guys and Perron playing for a coach that is historically now to suppress offence.

Blues will be a big time mystery team to start the season with what the new forwards can do under Yeo, and if Jake Allen is stable enough to get the job done

Yep but the Blues offense is still better

I'd say this is better than Tor, WSH, BOS, DAL...Philly, Tampa, WPG, and Pittsburgh could are debatable.

umm TOR scored the 3rd most goals in the league last year and they just added Tavares... TOR's offense is miles ahead of this STL team

Lost JVR and Bozak...not nearly as much depth,

Lost JVR and Bozak, Added Tavares, Kapanen (only part time last year), and Johnsson (best FWD in AHL). I think the depth is possibly better.
