He did very little of that last year.

Phil Kessel is an elite scoring winger without much help. Expecting increased production with better line mates is not unreasonable, and given his already impressive totals, there is every chance he scores 40 or more and is a point per game player.
Hardly anybody on the Leafs did anything of mention this year, that doesn't make them poor players, ir makes it a poorly constructed team. If they want to have a garage sale, this is the place to find a deal.
