- Bunting does his job well.
- Kerfoot has been one of the hardest working players on the team.
- Ritchie is confused, I agree lol
- that not great defence has been a top 5 defence in the league this year.
So you are saying Bunting is a 1st line player?
Also, just because you work hard doesn't make you good at hockey.
I didn't say either of these players were bad players, I simply stated that in the OPs configuration of the lines, those two individuals are penciled in above their ability.
The OP asked a question, "Are the Leafs built for playoff hockey?". Name me a team in recent memory that has won the Stanley Cup without a Norris caliber defenceman. Hedman, Hedman, Petro, Carlson, Letang, Letang, Keith, Doughty, Keith, Doughty, Chara etc. I stand by my point, the Leafs defence are good, not great.
