导出博客文章The Toronto Maple Leafs organizations centennial anniversary no doubt will be a
glorious celebration of the game of hockey. The bright, young talent that has
taken over the team will be on display and will give a glimpse of whats to come.
The odds are against the Leafs earning a postseason berth, however, but the
arrival of Auston Matthews, last Junes No. 1 overall selection in the NHL draft,
already has Toronto fans revved up.While the Maple Leafs and the NHL will honor
the past, it will be a great season to look toward the future in Toronto. Theres
a lot to be excited about. It might take a few more years, but the dawn of a new
era has arrived. The Toronto Arenas won the first Stanley Cup during the 1917-18
season. Maybe history will repeat itself 100 years later. But before we get
ahead of ourselves, lets focus on the upcoming season.Best new facesMatthews,
19, is the fresh face of the future. The kid from Scottsdale, Arizona, proved
his worth for Team USA at the World Championship last May and again for Team
North America at the World Cup of Hockey. Hes big, strong and extremely
talented. Hes smooth, and comfortable in his 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame. And his
No. 34 Maple Leafs jersey is flying off shelves in Toronto. Theres so much to
like about this kid, and Toronto should be a perfect fit.Theres more to like
about Torontos ongoing rebuilding process than just A-Matts (Im sure hes being
called Matty, but I like A-Matts better -- just saying). Anyway, the Maple Leafs
added veteran forward Matt Martin during the offseason. The 6-foot-3,
220-pounder will add strength and grit to the Toronto lineup. The Maple Leafs
also added defenseman Roman Polak along with goalie Frederik Andersen and Jhonas
Enroth.Biggest unknownsThe biggest unknown is how Matthews game will translate
at the NHL level. Playing pro in the Swiss Elite League last season, when he
registered 24 goals and 22 assists for 46 points in 36 games for Zurich SC, was
a good starting point. Plus, his contributions at the World Championship and the
World Cup make it appear likely that his transition to the NHL should be
relatively seamless. But lets not put this kid in the Hall of Fame just yet. He
will have his growing pains, as all rookies do. He will be under a microscope in
Toronto and expected to contribute right away. Fortunately, he seems built to
handle the pressure.?Goaltending has been an issue for the Maple Leafs, so thats
why the organization added Andersen and Enroth. The No. 1 spot could go to
Andersen, but hell quickly learn that Toronto is a long way from the Anaheim
Ducks. The 27-year-old will see a lot more action now than he ever did, and it
might take him a while to get used to seeing so much rubber. Enroth, 28, has
served mostly as a backup in his NHL career, and that will be the same in
Toronto.Which?Morgan Rielly?will show up? This is a big season for the
developing 22-year-old defenseman. It will be his fourth full season in the NHL,
and he needs to contribute more offensively, especially on the power play.Sure
thingsEven though William Nylander, 20, has only 22 games of NHL experience from
a season ago, upper management knew he was ready even before he made his debut.
He had six goals and seven assists for 13 points during those 22 games, but he
showed high-end skill and a strong enough hockey sense to make everyone believe
hes the real deal. While all eyes will be on Matthews, keep a close look on
Nylander as the favorite to win the Calder Trophy (the rule states a player can
have no more than 25 NHL games under his belt to still be considered a
rookie).Im not sure you can consider Nazem Kadri as a sure thing -- but hes
making improvements. The 25-year-old top-line center had 17 goals and 28 assists
for 45 points last season, and hell need to boost those numbers in 2016-17. He
needs to become a leader on and off the ice for the younger players on the
team.PredictionThe Maple Leafs will make strides again this season but ... . The
organizations continued progression will be fun to watch, though. Eighth in the
Atlantic.
