I'm not sure I see the Isles with less chance at Cup as Leafs right now.
OK, let's stand back and be objective. The Leafs are suspect on D. Dubas addressed it by getting Muzzin, who is a quality defenseman who is having a string of bad games right now. They looked steadier for sure his first few games. He needs to get back to normal. If he does, and Gardiner and Dermott are back, then the Leafs will have their best chance to advance. But sooner or later they are going to have to part with Johnsson or Kapanen or both I fear, because they have to get better back there.
Not sure It's going to be easy to ever be at the top with the number of high contracts we are about to own?? And I literally meant right now as in this year. I think the Isles might actually be in a better place than the Leafs this year.
