Not all of us think we require high draft picks to be successful
How many high draft picks has Detroit required over the past 20 years.

 

[McGarnagle]

Saturday update - 94 Points.

WIGWAL owning the pessimists. Or draft optimists.

FTR I'm thrilled that he's owning me too, ATM.  8)

Watching the Marlies last year was a lot of fun. 

 

[McGarnagle]

As of tonight, 93 points. Wigwal still nailing it.

 

[McGarnagle]

90 pt pace.

Arn's the closest at 89.

A couple opinions from around the web:

TipofTheTower.com 83 http://tipofthetower.com/2016/09/23/where-in-the-nhl-standings-will-the-leafs-finish-this-season/
TheHockeyNews 84 http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/thn-s-2016-17-nhl-season-preview-toronto-maple-leafs
PensionPlanPuppets 85 http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2016/10/13/13199802/predicting-the-toronto-maple-leafs-points-totals-season

So basically, 50% of us are pleased to be wrong right now! I'm so happy that I was wrong here!

Go WigWal, win this one!

I think I had them pegged at 83 as well.  Save for maybe WIGWAL (and maybe nutman), I don't think any of us foresaw them being *this* good this quickly.  Glad to be wrong!

In my own defence, my optimism was based mainly on having watched the Marlies religiously last year.

I'm not big on blind faith like the other chap you mentioned.

Still plenty of points to play for, let's hope I was right because it looks like that will be the magic number for a playoff berth.

 

[Arn]

Would require us to go 5-5 in the last 10 to hit 93, right? You'd have to be at least a little hopeful of that being possible....

 

[McGarnagle]

Down to the short strokes. 96 point pace - 13.5 points higher than the average of our collective entries.

WIGWAL looking like a lock based on price is right rules.

 

[sickbeast]

I'm going to posthumously join this thread and say that I think the Leafs will finish with 95 points.  And I *will* brag about it if I'm right. Especially to Nik the Trik.

And a solid thumbs up to Bullfrog - who nailed the Top Forward/D combination with Matthews and Gardiner.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Thank you good sir!

 

[McGarnagle]

Thank you good sir!

Speech! 

 

[Bullfrog]

Thank you as well. Technically, I got two things right.
