And what about the rest of my post? You have no answers to that?

So Bernier posting the same save % as the previous season in LA means he was "Lucky". You don't think he's good?

So, they are top 4 easily, but after the top 3 anyone can make the playoffs?

Sure. It's a very weak conference. But the Leafs are the 4th best in talent.

Gotta give you credit for your optimism. I just hope you don't refer to someone like Phaneuf as 'talent'. If you do, you may be in for tough season.

When he was in LA, Bernier was seen as a fantastic young goalie who was a future star. He lands in Toronto, and he needs to prove more than 1 season.

Poor Flames fans. You really believe the Leafs are at par talent wise with Buffalo and yourselves.

Yes, because believe it or not, one season is not enough to warrant being caled a star!
He is like Marcus Johanson but a goalie. ONE good season. Is Johansan being payed like Crosby just yet? No, because he has more to prove.

Depth? Colton Orr? David Booth? Holland? Frattin?
The Leafs aren't horrible, but I really think you're overestimating some of the 'talent' on the team. I agree that it will be a dogfight to see who makes the playoffs in the East. There are many teams who have strengths and weaknesses, the Leafs are no different.
They are not 'easily' 4th in the East, not in terms of talent or otherwise.
The Leafs could be 4th, they could also miss the playoffs quite easily. I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment this season with some of the lofty expectations you hold of your team and it's players.

More depth. The leafs have a first line + Kadri. And..? The Canadians have A first line as well as depth.
They also have a much better defensive core.
Price vs Bernier is no contest.

The problem with Toronto isn't Bernier, its the rest of the team. He looked great last year while being shelled night after night. Like was mentioned above, Toronto was badly outshot every game and that can only last so long until it catches up to you.
