I get abit surprised when I read predictions about Toskala and the leafs this year. Everybody seams to be pinpointing Toskala at 30-33 wins, 4-5 SOs. Raycroft, for all the crap he\'s received, managed 37 wins, albeit only 2 SOs. Will Toskala not atleast match that?, 37 wins?

First of all Toskala is a much better Goalie, right?
Second, the northwest does not look that scary this year, right?

So what do you think?

If he is 36-40 wins, 5-6 SO I\'ll keep him, otherwise not.

I think 35-38 wins is about right. Sure he\'s better than Raycroft, the Leafs improved, but don\'t forget that he won\'t be playing the 72 games Raycroft played last year.

I see Raycroft getting 25 starts so that leaves that many less games for Toskala. It could be even more split if the Leafs want to showcase Raycroft.

i dont see toskala getting 40 wins. look at it this way: raycroft played 72 games last year and ended up with 37 wins. toskala will play about 55-60 games....he\'s playing for a better leafs team (although minutely better), so i expect a solid 33-35 wins from him this season. shutouts....maybe 2-3? if you\'re looking for a goalie worth 6 SO\'s and 40 wins, he\'s not your man.
