8 years from now maybe the leafs will become a better team. young players from now will become somewhat veterans. players like crosby,ovechkin,e.staal etc
what do you think their full roster will be?

Well, this is a bit tough to say. One thing I'm hoping for is that Pogge will have developed into a top goalie in the NHL and Steen, Colaiacovo, Tlusty, Stralman, Earl and Kulemin are as great as they potentially could be. Throw in a number one draft pick in one of those 8 seasons (Tavares, Stamkos)and a few great free agent signings of young stars now (Toews, Kane, Gagner) you've got the makings of a good team. Not to mention a talented GM to bring in the players would help!
This is all just a dream. It happening would be a miracle. Mind you short of that the Leafs don't have much of a chance of having a Cup Winning team. |

| Within eight years a major catastrophe will destroy most of the planet as a huge meteorite will slam into the earth destoying everything except for a small geographical area in Southwest Ontario. The kingdom of Toronto will be literally unscathed and because of that the Hockey Hall of Fame which holds the holy grail, being the Stanley Cup, will forever more become the permanent property of the Toronto Maple Leafs. See, who said there wasn't a God? |

 Very funny Antroman but in 8 years Toronto will still be in last place! Maybe in second last place if they are lucky! |

| Hey Hab Fan, deep prognostication on your part. Are you from Quebec or are you one of those far away dream team boys? When you aren't busy thinking up these deep posts maybe you should try throwing your worldly possessions into your vehicle and hightailing it down the highway to Montreal. I'm sure you can find a more comfortable enviroment for yourself down there. |

given he speaks french antro,,,,,,,, the big thing toronto needs to do is get leadership players to help the youth...... not nessisarily the best hockey players in the biz,,, but the kind of guys who are good at working with youth and helping them adapt to the nhl level sundin style players,,,,

| You know, I am so far removed from winning a Stanley Cup that everthing just seems perfectly normal not winning one. I am very happy every year when the first puck drops and I can just follow my team as I have done every year since the mid fifties. I am perfectly happy in my losing enviroment since expansion in '68. I have learned that it is a one in thirty chance to win the cup and that at my age I may never see them win another one. It is not that I don't care, it is quite the opposite, but it is what it is and being a realist, I have come to grips with it. The important thing here is that a comfort level has been reached because of my years and I take solace in things like beating the Wings the other week or the thrashing we gave the Habs last time out. Winning the cup is about as far away as the planet Pluto. It is not that important in the big scheme of things but what is important is the day to day following of the team you are passionate about. It has been a life long enjoyment for me and will remain so until the last light goes out. "No Cups Since '67"? Bah Humbug!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Seeing as how Ovechkin is in Washington for a long time and RFAs almost never move around in the NHL the Leafs roster in 8 years will look a bit younger and slightly more talented unless they go into rebuilding mode and get a bunch of high draft ppicks who end up being good players. |

8 Years is a lifetime in NHL terms. There is no reason why the Leafs couldn't be a contender or even win the Cup in 8 years. So could any other team!!
However, trying to guess who will be on a roster next year is a crap shoot, how could anyone guess what will happen in 8 years. Sure, you could say that Ovechkin will be with the Caps, Mike Richards will be with the Flyers, and DiPietro will be with the Islanders. But who else will be there, not even the GM's of those teams can answer that. |

That's a tough one....guess I'll have to do some math and see who will be in their mid to late 30's, a few years past their primes, yet still demanding an overinflated salary. That should make up the bulk of the 2016 Leafs, that and a bunch of interchangable shmoes, that the rose- colored Leaf fans,make more of, than said shmoes talent actually dictate...  .... in other words....business as usual.
PS. I'll go out on a limb and guess that either Recchi or Chelios will be there....someone's got to pick up May's leadership after all.. |

Uhmm...I can appreciate homer enthusiasm, but I do wonder how, they are going to become 'dominant', in the next 3 years and stay that way for a long time there, Nostradamus?
Do you see something we don't? You should take a sec and move those blinders you wear a little bit out more...there's a whole league of teams out there, and I'd venture a quess that there are still going to be about 20 of them that will be more 'dominant' than the buds.
Might want to expand your enthusiasm, as you can actually appreciate looking forward to 2016, then the Leafs just may have pieced together a competitive team.
Their youth movement at present is average at best. Schenn may develop into a very good defencemen, but I don't think he should build a shelf for the Norris. Pogge may develop into an average NHL goalie, so far nothing to get too excited about, and these are Toronto's bright spots.
Their trade bait may be even less so...
Not to say it can't happen, and you shouldn't root for the cause.... hell I thought I could be a millionaire porn star, still trying to convince the wife I should practice, just in case, afterall, anything is possible. |

Leaf fans are so entertaining ,,, sad and pathetic as well, but entertaining none the less.
Every NHL team (except the Leafs) indeed does have the chance to win the Stanley Cup, but first you have to make the playoffs.
Better topic would be --- will the Leafs make the Playoffs by 2016? |

who are you to say Toronto wont have a contending team to make the playoffs in three years? They'd be there this year if only they had a decent goalie Ron Wilson is the best coach Toronto has had since Pat Quinn... and Burke wants a contending team he's a better GM than JFJ that's for sure.. Toronto is already showing signs of heart for the game and the will to win... The Next 3 years they will be a contending team maybe even next year as long as they get rid of Toskala... If they get rid of Toskala you'll see what i mean, just watch. I know what I'm talking about just wait and see |

* years from now, if this is their line up they will be the oldest team in the NHL or are these guys all going to be suspended in time and miraculously transported on to the ice at Air Canada Centre for opening night of the 2016/2017 NHL season. More drug induced fantasies from Leaf fans with nothing to do since their team isn't in the playoffs...AGAIN!!!quote:

Hey retard, obviously the roster I put up is a joke. It's a stupid answer to a ridiculously stupid question, as it's impossible to say what the Leafs roster will look like in 8 years. Not only are you an idiot for thinking I was serious, but you also have no idea what the ages are of the mentioned players. All of them are in their 20's meaning 8 years from now they will more than likely still be playing. Maybe you're the one who's on the drugs, dumbass. |

Its funny the same leafs fan that are bashing the habs are thinking when they will be good enough to make the playoff when they clearly stink.
Before bashing other teams learn that the leafs blow.
Will the leafs make the playoff before 2016?
Atleast i know the habs will
So sad.

I'd like to interject something on the last guest's post. Obviously since he is a Habs fan we know something is wrong with him, but I digress.
Tell me which you would prefer, would you please.
1). Top 10 draft pick, 2 (possibly 3) high end, NHL ready prospects, and a proven GM.
2). Late season collapse, an embarrassing first round exit, little future to look forwards to. A sub par GM and no coach. And all of this in their 100 year anniversary to boot.
Now I do acknowledge the Habs placed higher than the Leafs, and thats all fine and dandy. But honestly, I can't imagine anyone to say they would be proud to be a Habs fan right now. The Leafs, I can't say I'm overjoyed, but at least I have more to look forwards to then you fans of Les Glorieux. |

| Its funny how ppl forget that before the lockout the leafs were a good team, consistently making the playoffs and having a chance to win the stanley cup. Take another few years, the leafs will be back. And not long after that they will be contending for the cup. The management just hasnt done a good job the last few years. |

your all nuts........As long as the leaf are making the money, they are making.....They will never have a quality team on the ice.....
Many teams puts quality on the ice to draw the fans.....Toronto, already has the strongest fan base...So no quality.
Sorry to say, but as you know its a business first, then a sport. |

ok, how stupid are you guest 0469?
When will people realize that winning = more money. The leafs have missed out on approx. $100 mill in the last 5 years because of no playoffs. If that isn't enough motivation to ice a winning team than I don't know what is (besides a stanley cup).
Have you even considered how much money they would make of merch alone if they were to win a cup? It would be astronomical!
They charge alot for tickets yes, but thats because the demand is huge. It doesn't mean they don't want to win.
Think about it, do you really think that all those years Quinn was here he didn't want to win? What about Pat Burns? He wanted to win here sooo badly. Burkie and Wilson want nothing short of a stanley cup.
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E". |

Leafs Roster 8 years from now(2016)
