Who will get more points this season, Mitch Marner or William Nylander? Who will get more starts, Joseph Woll or Anthony Stolarz? Can Auston Matthews score more than 55 goals this season? TSN’s Bryan Hayes shares his thoughts on this and more as he looks ahead to the Maple Leafs’ season.

brian haies could even fight his way out of a paper bag, no need for prediction. leafs are lewsers, lolz.
first round exit due to season injuries
Mitch ….. run it back boyz!!
get past the first round or the team moves to Alaska.
Leafs make the conference finals
They win the division and beat the wildcard sens in 6 then they beat the defending champs in 7
And then they lose in game 7 to the wildcard bruins in OT
Hayes has been wrong every single time. Fact check it. Not that it matters anyway. We can all speculate all we want.
Changes, they had every opportunity to get rid of the core 4 and nope. They hire a dam good coach with no nonsense. As long time leaf fan I tired of the regular season wins and no play off wins. Cmon we deserve better
Nylander 110 points
Marner 101
Out in the first round
Hazer 😅
What makes this guy qualified to comment Hockey?
I'm going to Detroit to see the Leafs – Red Wings game tomorrow. I will give you my opinion afterwards, for what it's worth.
They haven’t got a second or third line figured out, have an aging D core and no starting goal tender. So a long way to go to be a contender.
Predictions at this time of year are fun but they're worth less than pocket lint.
-Mitch outscores Nylander. Assuming both healthy, Nylander gets 90ish pts and Marner gets 100ish.
-Matthews scores ~60 goals. The league is higher scoring now than a few years ago. F'n Zach Hyman had 54 and Sam Reinhart scored 57!
-Woll definitely gets a longer leash so more starts if everyone stays healthy. We'll likely see some injuries so wouldn't be surprised to see a few starts by Murray or Hildeby.
-Mitch stays. Contract 1/3 of the distance higher than Nylander's towards Matthews'.
Hayes is a clown
Trade Marner, he’s useless in the playoffs
Jarnkrok?
Can Chief be the coach who gets em over the hill?
Does Auston find another gear with his name on the C?
One thing's for sure – that barring injuries, Marner will roll. Contract year. I figure JT will, too.
Leafs are a wildcard team at best this year
Nah, I still think Matthews will get 60 goals easy this season.
70 is unlikely (no one since Brett Hull, Gretzky, Mario could put up those goal numbers).
Holy shit has Hayes drank the Kool-Aid! Talk about a guy trying to protect his job! The Leafs are almost as pathetic as Hayes! Looks like he’s been into O-Dogs Ozempic!!!
Hayes predicting Matthews not scoring over 55 is wild..
Not that im pulling for him to exceed expectations in the regular season… but, Marner will likely score over 40 and finish with 110pts. Why? CONTRACT YEAR.
Wouldn't surprise me if Tavares finishes with more goals than Willie too! Why? CONTRACT YEAR & to shut the people up saying, hes washed up and should be a 3rd line center.
Mathews gets 59 goals leads The league again
Hayes is the best, not a fake!!
yet we paid nylander 11.5 sheets per
I was so sad about all the negative Marner rants last year. Lets surf that wave of crap. Go Leafs Go!
Austin matthews best goal scorer in the regular season.
Will it be a Hayes eee season for the Leafs?
This is the year! Let’s go Leafs
