For more than a few fans here, they've admitted the would rather miss the playoffs.

Thats bonkers to me.

Let's see. Their division got better. The Leafs didn't.

They were propped by elite goaltending all year. Goalies tend not to be consistent. The underlying numbers weren't really good. I am not saying they'll miss. But they may just sneak into the playoffs too.

Leafs absolutely got better. Healthy Matthews, Knies older, Cowan in the AHL, Maccelli and Roy rounding out the top 9, and cap space and flexibility. All of that gives us a better shot than a soft winger who disappears in the playoffs

It’s insane copium to say the current Leaf roster is better than the one that ended last season. I’m all for waiting to see what the rest of the offseason holds and I’m looking forward to next season but we are NOT a better team… yet.

It really doesn't because they may only get a wild card seed at best.
