The Leafs have to hope that a sophomore slump doesn't affect some of their key players.

I am hopeful that the Leafs will remain one of the higher scoring teams in the league especially with the addition of Patrick Marleau. The Leafs, in theory, have three lines that can produce offensively.

The defence will remain a question mark though as the only addition there was Ron Hainsey who is OK but not an elite defenceman. I'm fine with Freddie in goal, but the backup job might be of concern though McElhenny played well yesterday.
