They are going to win ... what... 5 games?

And those are going to be ones that Curtis Joseph starts.

Poor Vesa Toskala.

Toronto Maple Leafs

ROLL CALL!

Darcy Tucker. GONE!

Andrew Raycroft. GONE!

Kyle Wellwood. GONE!

Mats Sundin. Um... who knows?

Who came in? Curtis Joseph should be a serviceable backup goalie and get to retire in the right way in the right town. Thats the only feel good story I see coming out of this team this year.

Jeff Finger somehow made a mint out of a good but not great playoff run. I don't see him having a whole lot of fantasy value as Toronto's already going to be pretty crowded on the blue line with McCabe(probably), Kaberle and Kubina. This didn't stop Toronto from giving him 3.5 million per year for 4years.

Ryan Hollweg comes in as well. He'll provide no fantasy value but he will bring the ultimate "fat guy in a little coat" dance to the Maple Leafs locker room.

Niklas Hagman was also signed, presumably to provide secondary scoring. Hagman had his best season last year, scoring 41 points for Dallas. Unless I'm missing something his potential isn't much higher then that. He isn't particularly prone to commit penalties or take a ton of shots so I don't see Hagman being particularly fantasy relevant either.

The question really is, with Mats Sundin's presumed departure who will be? Ponikarovsky, Bell, Blake, Stajan and Antropov are the best candidates, but all of them have been middling forwards, even with Sundin's presence (Bell excluded... he was in jail).

I predict a long year for the Maple Leafs, and for anyone who finds themselves with too many Leafs on their fantasy squad.
