Boston was supposed to go into a rebuild like 5 years ago but it never happened. Looks like it never will. They were the domino that was supposed to fall to make room for Ottawa to make the playoffs and to allow Toronto to go on a deep run. Until Boston goes away neither of those scenario appear possible and as a result the entire Brady Tkachuk/Auston Matthews eras will be for not.

Yeah Toronto isn't getting any better that's clear enough to see but this year is probably when the Leafs start their decline in performance and talent, Let's be real Toronto needs a rebuild ASAP because it's been almost a decade since their last one and all they have to show for it is a single playoff round.

they're also still the most consistent team of the last decade

The leafs won’t start to decline this year at all. Once the core players start to hit 30 then the decline starts to happen.they don’t need a rebuild they need a re-tool. They’re a really good team and if not for playing in this division they would’ve alrwys made it a lot further then they have

tampa was already disintegrating, now stammer and sergachev gone, just a small soft no defense 1st line, a mid 30's hedman, so joining pittsburg and washington. Florida losing top scorer, pp defensemen, 3rd d man, backup goalie, are left with a goon squad, kinda like boston.

Not sure how we lose our top scorer when we just signed him for another eight years.

[@stevenmorrison5864]

​@TheRiverweasel09 But your team lose Montour and oel and Vladimir Tarasenkoand ryan lomberg too

[@TheRiverweasel09]

@@stevenmorrison5864 we got cheaper d men to replace Lomby and Stenlund, Montour was wanting too much to be worth keeping, and Vlad was a rental and we knew that. Our top six forwards are all still the same and our first two pairs on defense haven't been altered either. Every cup winner has some bleed out due to the salary cap, but I've no doubt we'll be noisemakers in the playoffs again next year.

Florida and Tampa will be under the leafs this year. Leafs will get more consistent goaltending and much better defence.

[@Fredphlegm]

@@shanebrohm7786 No they won't. C'mon ... Florida found the solution to eventually stymie the Oilers with positional forechecking suffocation. The Leafs will travel down the same path as Edmonton did, only earlier in the playoffs. Boston will dispatch the Leafs long before Florida needs to

[@shanebrohm7786]

First off, this was a video on regular season standings, not playoffs. Secondly, the panthers lost quite a few key pieces on the back end including one who went to the leafs. They also lost there backup goalie who also went to the leafs. They also lost Montour who has been a steady d man for them for the past few years. As well as so bottom line depth who played there role very well for them. Those may be replaceable to a certain extent but the others will not be. Boston added two big areas of concern to there lineup in Zadorov and lindholm. Tampa will be competitive like always but they lost there captain and a guy that scored 40 goals last season for them. Not to mention that the team is getting older
