With arguably two of the top players in the NHL centering their first two lines, and another legitimate first line centre on the third line (Nazem Kadri) the Toronto Maple Leafs are now a nightmare for other teams to defend against.
This is going to allow Auston Matthews to approach heretofore undreamt of offensive totals.
But 65 or 70 goals? Tanner have you lost your damn mind? I assure you I have not.
Allow me to break it down.

As a rookie, Auston Matthews scored 40 goals and led the NHL in 5v5 scoring – a task that is more impressive, and harder to do, than winning the overall goal title.
