Four sleeps!
The Leafs smoked the Red Wings last night 5-1. Their pre-season is done with a finish of 5-2-1. Not a bad finish at all. I like some of the new talent that they've played in the pre-season. Most notably Brandon Kozun and William Nylander. Nylander is young, only 18, so he may not make the cut this year. I'd like to see Kozun make the roster.
All joking aside, I think that there's a lot of talent on the team. Unfortunately there are also a lot of injuries already, and the season hasn't even begun. If the Leafs can get through the season with a healthy team and some good direction from management and the coaching staff they might just do okay this year. I like the shape they're taking. As I said earlier, I don't think that the team will change overnight, but I see a much brighter future.
