The Toronto Maple Leafs may have the biggest discrepancy between the perception of their team by fans and analysts vs the actual reality of how good they are.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have the best forwards in the NHL, something close to the best blue-line, and a goalie coming off a records setting NHL debut as a starting goalie.
Their best players – some of whom are future hall of famers – are just hitting their primes, and the team is just starting to develop a second wave of prospects to augment the team.
