In the guys first full season in Toronto the team was 7 points worse and finished 2nd last in the entire league without their own pick. I think Burke is fine with losing without his own pick at least. A similar drop this year should ensure a legitimate chance at a top 3 pick.
I would say the roster is worse than last years, pretty much status quo on defence, a drop off up front and well below average goaltending leads to a bottom 3 in the league team.
