The Beginning Of A Dynasty | The Toronto Maple Leafs

[Bluejaysfan65]

With yet another Maple Leafs' third period collapse against the Boston Bruins putting a wrap on the recent 2017-2018 season, I've decided to put together a pre-dated franchise going all the way back to the 2016-2017 season.

With the Leafs coming off one of their worst seasons in recent memory and picking up Auston Matthews in the NHL Draft, the future seems bright with this young, up and coming team.

Spoiler

I'll primarily be using this dynasty thread as a means to track my progress for this Franchise mode, so don't expect any high-end graphics.
