On whether the Leafs are an improved team over last season after the offseason moves:
I don’t know about the one that finished the season, but I think they are better than the one that started last season when they were betting on guys like the Jimmy Veseys, Alexander Barabanovs, and Travis Boyds of the world. I think they upgraded the depth on that end of things, but they are going to miss Zach Bogosian a lot.
The team that ended the season was quite good, and then John Tavares got hurt and things sort of spiraled out of control from there.
