Maple Leafs 2010-11 Player Predictions

McKeen's Hockey Annual Yearbook

It’s been quite the time span since my last post here. But as many of you know, I’ve been working on the McKeen’s Hockey Annual Yearbook. That is in addition to the work on the player profiles for the Maple Leafs Annual.

So to kick things off, and to change the subject from Tomas Kaberle, here are my player predictions for the Maple Leafs this season after the jump.
(NOTE*** Predictions appearing the McKeen’s Annual Yearbook are decided as a collective from many different sources. These values will unlikely appear as they indicated below in the publication.)

No Player Pos Age GP G A Pts
81 Kessel, Phil RW 22 75 35 27 62
42 Bozak, Tyler C 24 77 19 38 57
32 Versteeg, Kris RW 24 80 24 28 52
15 Kaberle, Tomas D 32 80 7 45 52
3 Phaneuf, Dion D 25 78 14 37 51
41 Kulemin, Nikolai LW 24 80 20 22 42
84 Grabovski, Mikhail LW 26 70 17 25 42
9 Armstrong, Colby RW 27 77 18 19 37
36 Gunnarsson, Carl D 23 79 6 18 24
22 Beauchemin, Francois D 30 78 6 17 23
39 Mitchell, John C 25 75 8 14 22
2 Schenn, Luke D 20 77 4 17 21
33 Caputi, Luca LW 21 60 9 10 19
43 Kadri, Nazem C 19 35 10 6 16
11 Sjostrom, Fredrik RW 27 65 5 7 12
8 Komisarek, Mike D 28 70 2 8 10
20 Hanson, Christian C 24 42 4 2 6
4 Finger, Jeff D 30 32 2 4 6
Lebda, Brett D 28 42 2 4 6
28 Orr, Colton RW 28 80 2 3 5
18 Brown, Mike RW 25 70 2 1 3

Notes:

I’m not sure of the status of Finger and may not see him getting buried as most expect. I’ve included a prediction should he stay with the Leafs.

Don’t believe Nazem Kadri will stick with the Leafs all season and will spend some time with the Marlies. Perhaps more so than most fans will want, and the battle cries to get him into a Leafs uniform may force the issue. Regardless, there are still inconsistencies in his game that have to be worked out before a full blown step into the NHL. His prediction takes this into consideration.

Luca Caputi could also use some time in the minors to work on various aspects, including pace and upgrading his skating. However, with the necessity of filling out a roster, he could get a spot by default. His prediction takes this into account.

Tomas Kaberle is still included in this list. Should there be a change in the roster, obviously these values will change with that.

    clarkies rookie card …
    i was at his banner raising game and bought his banner night jersey #’d 22 / 300 .
    he was always my favorite player , probably always will be.
    butone of my nephews told me ,
    ryan clowe would be the closest thing weve had to wendel , since , wendel.
    any thoughts ???
    I think Brown from LA would be closer but I would take Clowe and be very happy haven’t him pound guys coming up the wing.
    He is a tough guy who can put up points, wouldn’t have Clarke’s wrist shot but who else would nobody…

    the next thing he said , he would wear number 17 .
    im just not ok with that ??

    Funny how BB was quite all along and when there’s literally 3 days left to Kabs trade window, he wants to appear on a radio show.

    I love how BB fucks with your brain!

    He’s finally taking my advice and shutting the fuck up. Been asking him to do that for a long time now. Lets see how he controls himself in the AM!

    @ SicTransitGloria:

    Nah. Burke told him his vast talent and unquestioned leadership was no longer needed.

    So he joined Western Canada’s answer to the Habs – Vancouver!

    LOL.

    Orr has the record for most points ? He must. But not as a rookie!

  • HHT

    Bobby Orr has the record for most points by a D in one season, 139!
    He also had seasons of 138 and 122!

    Coffey had 138 and 126. Those were the days.

  • Bon Scott was a Leaf fan

    Something’s up in my opinion. Burke has purposely avoided media attention these last few weeks and now suddenly he decides to go on The Fan with 3 days to go before Kabs NTC goes back into effect?? If it’s to give the same line that he was saying last month…hoping to bump up offers….he will look weak (imo). That would be a dumb move. For Burke to do an interview tomorrow I have to think he’s already got a deal in place for Kabs in his back pocket.
    ,
    Perhaps he’s accepted Clowe & a 1st…and is trying to parlay the 1st with another player to get an upgrade…..but he can’t announce the Kabs deal yet because the 2nd deal involving the 1st and player/prospect isn’t completed yet.

    @ UncleJakesCards:
    My take on Clowe:
    Clowe is a different type of player. He lacks Wendel’s speed and big shot. He’s closer to a Gary Roberts type player but with less skill. At his best he’ll get you that goal that requires fighting to stay in front of the net. He’ll make the hit to force the turn-over and he makes a decent pass. His downfall is his injury history. Given his age, and the game he plays, he may burn-out long before he rusts. If you move him from San Jose to Toronto, I’d expect him to be a game changer, but expect to lose him 20 games every year. Likely see his scoring stats drop by 10 to 15 points until his supporting cast gets better. In San Jose, he often escapes notice from checkers. In Toronto, he’d likely see more attention.
