The most exciting thing about Tampa Bay is the forwards they have in coming up in the system. I was at the prospect tourney in Traverse City, MI, and while the team as a whole didnt do great, guys like Connoly, Ashton, Tyrell and Hutchings looked really good.
As for the big team, barring injuries (Gagne, Lecavalier) they should be scoring machines this year. The defense however, is another story, and could cost them some games.
The Leafs, like Edmonton, are full of potential, but short on experience up front, so its a crap shoot how some of the kids will work out.
