By no means am I saying Toronto is the best thing since sliced bread, but they've got a great mix going. They have skill, they have some speed, some guys can slum it. There are no glaring holes. Carolina poses a threat style wise but beyond that I think Boston getting smoked, and Colorado too makes their path easier.

Why I think they'll steamroll Florida is simply I think Florida emptied the tank. Beyond that, Florida's goaltending is very questionable. They're not streaky - just unreliable. Defence isn't all that deep either. Sets it up so the Leafs just roll four lines and they'll be fine.

Goaltending. Same thing that a lot of people sunk the Bruins.
