The Leafs need to let themselves plummet to the bottom of the league for a season or two and then start a real rebuild. Tank this year get McDavid then wait til summer 2016 for Stamkos to come home Stamkos won't leave Tampa. Count on that.

I read an article by Proteau of THN it. For what's it's worth Stamkos certainly didn't deny that he wouldn't go home to Toronto

Leafs have got a decent offense with Bozak, JVR and Kessel + Lupul and Kadri on second line.
Rielly and Gardiner two good puck moving D-men that will be backbone of defense for years to come.
One of the best goaltending tandems in league with Bernier (top15 goalie) and Reimer (one of best backups available).
And bottom 6 fw nice options that really make a difference vs last year; adding Booth, Komarov, Kontiola, Winnik, Frattin, Santorelli will mean 0 minutes for Orr, McLaren and no need to rush some of the good young players coming up (ie Leivo, Carrick, McCegg, etc.).
D is indeed the worse part of team and I don't like Phaneuf, especially because how he is used.. but hopefully he'll be down to 20-22mins/game, with others filling in for him so he will have more energy left for PP and offense in general. With Gardiner and Rielly there, I would love for the Leafs to trade Phaneuf though. I would do the same with Lupul, who is one injury away from retirement..
As for Clarkson.. worse than last year is impossible; I do believe though that he will play alot better than last season.
Leafs will get into playoffs this year, I would be very surprised if they would not. With the additions they finally have 4 lines to play instead of 2 and a half and finally they have a real team.. Kontiola will surprise.

Tank this year get McDavid then wait til summer 2016 for Stamkos to come home Stamkos won't leave Tampa. Count on that. I agree that there is not a big chance he will leave Tampa. If he would leave though, it would be 99% to the Leafs.

Tank this year get McDavid then wait til summer 2016 for Stamkos to come home That's just another rumour. Expect a lifelong extension before the expiration of his contract. Remember the Lecavalier rumours? They went on for 7/8 years and he was never traded. He did get bought out eventually, but even then he didn't go a team he was thought to go to for years.

you did not hear yet? Stamkos is coming to Leafs 100% sure, and Johnny T. as well. Getzlaf wanted to as well, but now is having doubts since potentially only 3rd line C after Tavares (1st) and Bozak (2nd ) ...

Subban wants 8.5 million that sounds about right. anything under 7.7million for Subban is a steal. friggin DJ Dion gets 7million / year.

That would give me around 3-4 mil in cap space

9 mill for Subban is a bit much in my opinion. He's an elite player but that's a lot of money.

Real nhl: I like Subban alot, i think his contract is spot on for what he brings. In game: I'm quite sure that ea will bump his attr all up to be a 90+ ovr player now, so really probably an advantage 9million in 3 years will look a lot friendlier as well with higher cap ceiling
