You want to be like Boston.

Boston had an off year, they crashed and burned, and they came right back this year and made the playoffs.

My question would be, and I know it changes from year to year, and I said it yesterday,

Who's coming out in the Atlantic next year?

I would argue Florida's going to be right back in the mix.

I don't know what that looks like.

But you've got Ottawa.

You've got Detroit that wants to have another offseason to get better and better.

And the teams that we're talking about, Buffalo, Montreal, these teams aren't going anywhere.

So the Leafs are going to have to not only be dealing with themselves, but dealing with the division they play in.

And the Max is five teams out of that division.

Makes sense.

You know, that's really because three from the Metro have to make it.

So that'll be the challenge that has to be factored in for John Chayka and his group as well.

I agree.

So I'm a voter, and I had him winning the Norris, and I'll tell you why I did that.

A lot of what you laid out, Struts, the points are one thing, offensively.

But passes, like I dug in analytically.

I talked to Mike Kelly from SportLogic.

I spoke to a couple other AGMs throughout the league.
