Blake (24G, 30A, 54pts) - Steen (20G, 35A, 55pts) - Antropov (22G, 24A, 46pts)

Kulemin (16G, 15A, 31pts) - Grabrovksi (8G, 30A, 38pts) - Tlusty (15G, 23A, 38pts)

Ponikarovsky (17G, 15A, 32pts) - Stajan (14G, 23A, 37pts) - Hagman (17G, 15A, 32pts)

Bell (5G, 12A, 17pts) - Moore (6G, 22A, 28pts) - Mayers (5G, 15A, 22pts)


Kaberle (8G, 48A, 56pts) - Kubina (12G, 30A, 42pts)

Finger (5G, 12A, 17pts) - Stralman (6G, 25A, 31pts)

Frogren (1G, 6A, 7pts) - Van Ryn (5G, 20A, 25pts)


Vesa Toskala (70GP, 2.68 GAA, .909 SV%)

Curtis Joseph (10GP, 2.85 GAA, .898 SV%)

Justin Pogge (2GP, 2.50 GAA, .900 SV%)

Empty Net Goals: 8

Total Stats:

Goals Allowed: 229, 27 less than last season, ranked 20th in the NHL (per '07-'08 stats)
Goals Scored: 207, 21 less than last season, tied for 22nd in the NHL (per '07-'08 stats)

Basically, from those stats, I see a goal differential of -22, similar to last season's -28.

So, I see a team that finishes roughly 5th - 8th last overall in the NHL.

Hopefully they're lower than that!!!! The Score Forcaster has us finishing in the bottom 5.

I think these stats are pretty reasonable. I think/hope Stajan will have a breakout this year. I really liked the way he played down the stretch without Sundin leading the team. Hopefully he can carry that through to this year. I think that he's capable of something like 20G25A 45PTS.

Hopefully the young guys Kulemin, Tlusty, Grabovski and Stralman grow throughout the year and finish strong. That's one of the most important things for this year, the growth of those guys along with Pogge.

Out of pure laziness, I will follow the lines by Ace....but with different predictions

All under the projection of 82 games:

Blake (20 G, 52 pts) - Steen (23 G, 56 pts) - Antropov (27 G, 57 pts)

Kulemin (18 G, 43 pts) - Grabrovksi (11 G, 48 pts) - Tlusty (17 G, 41 pts)

Ponikarovsky (19 G, 45 pts) - Stajan (15 G, 38pts) - Hagman (17G, 32pts -- agreed exactly!)

Bell (8G, 26pts) - Moore (5G, 25pts) - Mayers (5G, 24pts)


Kaberle (10 G, 58 pts) - Kubina (11G, 46pts)

Finger (3 G, 15 pts) - Stralman (8 G, 38 pts)

Frogren (3G, 10pts) - Van Ryn (7G, 31pts)


Vesa Toskala (60GP, 2.65 GAA, .910 SV%)

Curtis Joseph (15GP, 2.85 GAA, .900 SV%)

Justin Pogge (7GP, 2.80 GAA, .902 SV%)

RG, I must say your stats are very optimistic lol.

That would put the Leafs at 227 goals, good for 13th overall in league scoring.

Might be a tad high considering they'll probably be playing a defensive system.

Keep in mind that was under the assumption that everyone played 82 games (which will obviously not happen)
