2015-2016 Toronto Maple Leafs...

what is the difference between the first year of Mike Babcock as head coach of the Red Wings,and this season of him being the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs,this season??? answer:TALENT!!!! that is as blunt as i can be... i look at the current main roster of the Maple Leafs,and i do see talent on the roster,but honestly,the current roster has done very little over the past decade,except lose games,and collapse at the end of recent seasons... Babcock is a very good coach,but he has a major reconstruction,and reclamation project on his plate,in the Maple Leafs... two major positive areas on the team are the goaltending,and the farm system(the Toronto Marlies)... James Reimer reminds me of a young Jimmy Howard... he has that type of talent,but only has shown streaks of inconsistency,in goal,so far,in his NHL career... captain Dion Phaneuf may be the team's best player,but the quality of overall play drops off quickly,on the main roster,unless you want to play it tough with the Maple Leafs... expect improvement,simply because Babcock will not accept losing,period... one thing that i know about Babcock,his team system will work in Toronto,but the overall talent definitely has to improve to make a run at the Stanley Cup playoffs... unfortunately,this will not be the year that they will make a run at the Stanley Cup playoffs,unless two or three teams simply implode from within,and in the Eastern Conference,that will not happen,at least,this year....
