Once in a Lifetime | A Toronto Maple Leafs Dynasty

[Bluejaysfan65]

So with a game upgrade and a new NHL season, a new dynasty is on its way! After a long season that saw them get knocked out of the playoffs in a brutal game seven defeat to the Boston Bruins, the Toronto Maple Leafs look to get redemption in the 2013-2014 campaign.

Sliders: Custom **REALISTIC*** Sliders (9 Minute Periods)
Rosters: NHL 14 Revamped Opening Day Rosters
House Rules:
Maximum of two major trades per season (involving an 83 overall or higher player)
Maximum of three minor trades per season (involving an 83 overall or lower player)
Unlimited draft night trades (depending on # of phones)
Unlimited trade deadline trades (depending on # of phones)

I'm going to go with something a little different from what I usually use. I am going to be reporting the seasons for both the Marlies (the AHL affiliate) and the Maple Leafs, hoping to provide a more in-depth dynasty.

Maple Leafs Head Into Training Camp and Preseason With Uncertainties

Who's going to play on the bottom two forward lines? Who's going to play on the bottom two defensive units? Who's going to start in net?

Those are all questions that will need to be answered as the Toronto Maple Leafs go through training camp and prepare for their first preseason game.

The team that was lead by James Van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel just a season ago seems to be different, with new faces everywhere. David Clarkson signed with the blue and white in the offseason, and is expected to produce some depth scoring on the third line while young players such as Jake Gardiner and Nazem Kadri are hopeful to make a bigger impact now that they have matured.

Morgan Rielly, the Maple Leafs' top prospect' will look to crack the Maple Leafs roster to start the season, or risk being sent down to the CHL for another year, but will have to compete against the likes of NHL veterans Mark Fraser, Paul Ranger and John-Michael Liles along with fellow rookie Korbinian Holzer.

Up front the Leafs look solid with a first line featuring the likes of James Van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel on both sides of centre Tyler Bozak, who was great in the face-off circle just a season ago.

Projected Lineup:

Trade Kulemin for a better 6th defender

Hmmm.... That's actually a pretty good idea... We'll see how it plays out during the preseason.

Taking a 3-2 lead into the third period against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their first preseason game of the year, the Toronto Maple Leafs became the victim of a three goal third period outburst.

A power play goal early in the period tied the game up at three, and Alex Killorn and Dion Phaneuf exchanged goals before the Lightning scored with less than three minute remaining in the period on a sprawling Bernier. Bernier made 25 saves in the lost, which was his first preseason action of the year.
