Well, like usual, bigger is better for them. Huge D and HUGE contracts. They have half of their pay-roll spent on their D-corps and don't have a #1 amongst them and at least 3 of them are pylons. Their D will score and they will hurt you if they can catch you, but Raycroft better have shaken off his funk because he will see a lot of pucks! I have heard they are still after Pronger, as well. I don't know how they will afford him, because they still have to pay Domi's and Belfour's contract after their buy-out and then there is Sundin and the rest of their forwards to sign. With all that cash on their defence, they will have to have a lot of cheap 4th-liners and rookies signed-up to fill-out their attackers. Toronto will certain score and hit, but they will need tremendous coaching and goaltending to make the play-offs.

Good post Habtastic! If it were the old NHL, their D-men would benefit them more. Sundin will have no one up front to play with.
