If you look at cup winners recently they have legit stars like Kane Toews Doughty Quick Crosby Malkin Zetterberg Datsyuk Thomas Chara. I don't see any of the current leaf guys both in the prospect pool and the NHL team becoming a player of that level.

I agree with this. It is hard to pick players within the flames organization either with 100% certainty either but I just don't see it with the leafs current group. I'm not sure what they gave up to get Kessel was the best route, but you can't win a cup with him as your "superstar" player who should be leading the team. And then there is that Dion guy as the captain, I wonder how long that will last.
I was sure this thread wouldn't provide the same level of entertainment as the Oilers or the Canucks thread, but since the Kessel comments, it has been great.
Keep it coming Laffs!
