Preseason Record: 6-3
Starting Goalie: Vesa Toskala
Likely Highest Total Points: Jason Blake/Phil Kessel
Challenge Coming Into The Season: Kessel is going to give this team some much needed goal-scoring...starting in November. Until Kessel brings a little finesse to this team, they're likely going to be beating opponents into submition on the ice, if not on the scoreboard. Komisarek, Exelby, Beauchemin, among others are all more than willing to hit you hard then smile fondly about it after. It will also be interesting to see if Toskala can remain the starting goalie, or if he gets eaten by The Monster Jonas Gustavsson. Overall, Toronto's chances all go back to Kessel's readiness to play...it's going to be a bitch getting him out of his skirt and high heels and into those pads.
