Edmonton had the first pick in the MacKinnon draft and wasted it on Sean Monahan. St. Louis gets MacKinnon at 2. Domi to Nashville, Barkov to the Devils, and Bo Horvat to Ottawa round out the top five.
Schwartz has moved to play centre and will be between Landeskog and Pyatt. Sid is holding down the top line with Eberle and Henrique.
Once again, it’s pretty much Cup or bust for these Leafs. Now that they’ve won one, it’s time for Sid to cement his legacy by winning and winning a lot. So far, he, Ovechkin, and Kane have won Cups while Malkin, Backstrom, and Toews have not. Interesting.
At the Trade Deadline, the Leafs sit atop the Atlantic. We have a six-point lead on the Florida Panthers, who are in second. Sid has 69 points in 58 games, which is good for 4th in the scoring race.
The Leafs finish first in the Atlantic and Victor Hedman, not Sid, is nominated for the Hart Trophy. Sid finishes with 96 points in 79 games, good for second in the scoring race, which is won by Nicklas Backstrom.
