8 ) Will Colaicovo finally stay healthy(ish)?
9) Will the Leafs make the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
10) Will Mats Sundin play for the Leafs this season?
1) Yes. It looks like they are going to give him a shot.
2) Looks like another "not quite 20 goal season" for him, so I guess no.
3) He's been awesome. Really providing some hope for the future, but no (at least not past the 10 game mark that makes it official). Don't burn a year of entry level on him now. All the experts seem to agree, even McGuire who is probably Schenn's biggest fan.
4) No one. 3 Alternates. DO NOT ROTATE THE 'C'!!!!!
5) White and Kronwall out. That leave Kaberle, Kubina, Finger, Cola, Stralman, Frogren, and VanRyn as the 7 NHLer's. Try to trade White. Should be able to get something decent for him. I think Kronwall can make it through waivers without getting claimed. We might need him down the road, plus he'd be good for the Marlies.
6) I think it will come down to Antro, Blake or Kaberle.
7) I think Kulemin can get 18G 20A 38PTS
8) Yes, healthy(ish).
9) No.
10)No.

1) No Nic Antropov will return as center
2) As a defensive forward yes, and net returns of 20 goals
3) Only as a fill in for injuries
4) Sooner or later. Nickiii
5) Van Ryan will be traded. I hope I am wrong I'd prefer Finger gone, but no one will take that contract and Whites not worth anything, unless they can get a pick
6) Nic
7)10 & 15=25
8) Nope and he is still reaching at times to make a hit. It’s a shame because he is probably their top defense
9) Hope not. I want them number one over all....... In the draft lol
10) Nope. And I hope not. Only because I want in the top 5 picks.
3-2 leafs... and they will learn to hold a lead in spite of them selves...

1) Will Grabovski serve as the Leafs’ No.1 center, and if not, where will he find his place on the team?
Grabovski will play on the second with Kulemin and whoever else.
2) Will Steen finally break-out this season?
Sure will, Steen will shine and lead the leafs in assists and points.
3) Will Schenn be a part of the ‘08-09 Leafs?
Sure will, he will come in and fit so well that they can't send him back, much like Stall in Pitts.
4) Who will serve as the Leafs’ captain?
Mayers, starting mid december
5) Which defenseman will be the odd-man out, and will it result in a trade?
White, yes trade.
6) Who will be the Leafs’ top scorer?
Blake will lead with 45 goals and Steen will lead in points.
7) How many goals and points will newcomer Kulemin produce? Will he be used on the top line?
Kulemin: 22 goals, for 40 points. Second line w/ Grabovski.
8 ) Will Colaicovo finally stay healthy(ish)?
Yes, infact, he will knock 7 guys out, karma.
9) Will the Leafs make the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
Not this season.
10) Will Mats Sundin play for the Leafs this season?
Yes, the leafs will sputter from oct - december, going well below .500. Sundin will come back and they will finish 12th in the east.

1) Will Grabovski serve as the Leafs’ No.1 center, and if not, where will he find his place on the team?
No, I see him settling in as the 2nd line center.
2) Will Steen finally break-out this season?
Yes. With no franchise player for everybody to lean on this year, players like Steen and Stajan are bound to have breakout years.
3) Will Schenn be a part of the ‘08-09 Leafs?
No. He'd better not.
4) Who will serve as the Leafs’ captain?
Nobody. I could see someone like Kubina getting it sometime during the season though.
5) Which defenseman will be the odd-man out, and will it result in a trade?
Van Ryn, he will probably be waived or sent down, the leafs don't like getting anything in return for their assets.
6) Who will be the Leafs’ top scorer?
Antropov.
7) How many goals and points will newcomer Kulemin produce? Will he be used on the top line?
I'd say around 13-14 goals and somewhere in the mid thirties in points. I don't expect him to be a top line regular but I'm sure he will see some time there.
8 ) Will Colaicovo finally stay healthy(ish)?
He looks like he's taken his off season conditioning seriously I this should lead to him having his healthiest season yet.
9) Will the Leafs make the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
No.
10) Will Mats Sundin play for the Leafs this season?
No.

Some pretty interesting responses here, all in all I like that no one really wants them to make the playoffs.

It's not that I don't want to make the playoffs, I don't think they can. I don't want to be 9th again!! It does nothing for our future. I'd love to see some Leaf playoffs this year (it's been four years and counting since we've seen the playoffs. I'm going to need a refresher course on the playoffs!!) |
