text: IMHO, there is no team in the Atlantic division that is a sure bet for the playoffs next year.  Some of the non playoff teams will likely be improved - Tampa Bay for sure and maybe Florida and Buffalo.  You are pretty optimistic re the Sens young players who may well be good some day but today are just prospects who are totally unproven.  But you think all the Leafs young guys who have proven they can play will fade.   Not a chance!
