Description
Expansion has come and gone, and with that, the Leafs unfortunately lost Nikita Soshnikov to the new Las Vegas Black Knights franchise.

Auston Matthews has played a year for the Leafs and is now officially their #1 centre.

After the mid-season trade deadline, Auston paired up with Mitch Marner, and the two showed brilliant chemistry.

Add to that Jimmy Vesey, who exceeded expectations and is now part of the team's dynamic first line.

Willie Nylander had a breakout year in 2016-17 and narrowly missed being nominated for the Calder.

The vets: JVR and Nazem Kadri and Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner make the roster that much more dangerous.

Nikita Zaitsev showed that he not only belongs in the NHL but that he's a top 4 defenseman.

How close are they to playoff contention?

Soshnikov would be exempt from the expansion draft. Please no Cody Franson again.

leafs are more likely to lose a guy like Marincin/Harrington/Corrado

JVR,Nylander,Kapanen,Komarov,Brown,Kadri,Leipsic as the 7 forwards. hyman, sosh,gauthier,lindberg,marner,matthews etc dont need to be protected
Rielly, Gardiner and Carrick as the D. zaitsev doesnt need to be protected
Bibeau as the G

This is kind of dumb. Assuming Vesey, an unlikely top line player, signs in Toronto (very good chance he won't) and becomes a top line producer?

Soshnikov will not be available for expansion draft. They will not sign Franson. He does not fit into Babcock's structure of ideal, puck-moving defencemen. Jimmy Vesey will most likely not sign with Toronto, and even if he does, I just cannot see a Harvard graduate becoming a first-line producer after one pro season, or at all for that matter. Lastly, they would not be that idiotic to sign Thomas Greiss to almost $4 million per year to be a backup-quality starting goaltender.
