2007/08 Projections

Below are projections for the upcoming season for the Leafs, from The Hockey News Ultimate Pool Guide 2007-08. Last year they predicted the Calgary Flames would win the Stanley Cup, with Jarome Iginla winning the Conn Smythe. So, take it for what you will.

It should be noted that players projected to rack up less than 30 points were not included, which is why you don't see Hal Gill or Boyd Devereaux

Here is how they have projected the netminders:

Andrew Raycroft
10 Wins
3.00 GAA .900 SV% 1 SO

Vesa Toskala
31 Wins
2.55 GAA .909 SV% 4 SO

The Leafs are projected to end up 8th place in the Eastern Conference. Even the experts have us making the playoffs. Ottawa is projected to place 1st - then win the Cup - so we're obviously not expected to do much once in the playoffs.
