Sujet: Opening Night Lines and 5 Random Predictions for the Season
This is far more than 5 predictions and good on you for making them and putting them out there:

Prediction 1a: Kerfoot becomes a very reliable, cost-effective 3C, and Leaf fans are are gonna be really happy he stayed while Johnsson and Kapanen left. (I view this as likely)
Prediction 1b: He puts up 35 points while playing really well defensively. (unlikely to hit 35 points)
Prediction 2a: The TJ Brodie contracts starts to not look very good as he struggles to fit in, ending up on the 3rd pairing. (unlikely, but plausible)
Prediction 2b: At the same time, Travis Dermott quickly becomes the team's 3rd best D-man, and plays on the top pair with Reilly. (unlikely)
Prediction 3a: The Thornton experiment doesn't work out all that great, and he becomes a Spezza-like utility piece on the 3rd/4th lines. (likely)
Prediction 3b: At the same time, Barbanov is Mikheyev 2.0 and floats in and out of the top 6. (unlikely)
Prediction 4b: Vesey and Lehtonen are not on the team by the trade deadline. (unlikely)
Prediction 5: With a congested schedule, Jack Campbell plays about 40% of the games and puts up better numbers than Andersen, giving Keefe a really difficult decision for the playoffs. (unlikely)
Prediction 6: Leafs finish 1st in their division with final standings being: Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary, Ottawa (unlikely they finish first. I think that Montreal and Calgary finish ahead of where you have them.)

Sujet: You had to trade one Who are you moving out
Even LEAFS fan sites admit marner is overpaid. This isn’t a debatable fact. I never said he was a bad player. He’s a very good player and probably a top 10 winger in this league. But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s overpaid, and leafs have 4 guys who make over $40 million. The leafs will have some tough decisions to make in the future. Sorry to bruise your ego or disappoint you over your man crush marner, but facts don’t care about your feelings

Sujet: (TOR/NJD) - Johnsson for Anderson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>Not sure if I prefer a player return over a pick.

Still, necessary trade.</div></div>

Actually with the right development (still got time as he is young) Joey could become a similar player to Coleman which is something we need. The tweet is someone who explains why this is a steal for both sides and heck friedman retweeted it <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Alright, Leafs fans...here is your thread on what the Leafs are getting in Joey Anderson:</p>&mdash; Rachel Doerrie (@racheldoerrie) <a href="https://twitter.com/racheldoerrie/status/1315071995877392386?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2020</a></blockquote>

Sujet: What does everyone think of the Draft
15 - Amirov (F) &lt;-- Potential to become Kucherov with proper development and patience
59 - Hirvonen (F) &lt;-- Potential to become Cirelli as he plays a very similar game
64 - Niemela (D) &lt;--- Plays a very similar game to Letang as both use similar moves
106 - Akhtyamov (G) &lt;--- This guy could very big for us and could become big like Samsonov/Shesterkin/Sorokin. Cant wait to see him in WJC
122 - Villeneuve (D) &lt;--- Faulk like and with a defensive Dman can be similar to Klingberg
137 - Ovchinnikov (F) &lt;-- With the right development could become a russian Hyman
168 - Miettinen (F) &lt;--- Potential steal plays similar to Turris
177 - Rindell (D) &lt;---- Reminds me of young morgan rielly
180 - Miller (F) &lt;--- Small but skilled and another potential steal. Could develop similar to Conolly
189 - Fusco (D) &lt;--- Kid plays a good 2-way game and university should help him. Potential to become similar to Parayko but needs to put on some size.
195 - Schingoethe (F) &lt;--- Kid plays like Hyman and honestly should Hyman ever retire and this kid develops properly were set
213 - Tverberg (F) &lt;--- A project but has the makings to be like Levio. Just needs to work on his stick handling and not take so many dumb penalties.



Also fun note

Leafs now have
KHL Dman of the year
QMJHL Dman of the year finalist
OHL Dman of the year
WJC best Dman of the tourney

Oh, Muzzin and Rielly too.
