116. Mike Babcock seems to think his team is taking the same path as the Chicago Blackhawks. It sure is possible, but the ‘Hawks have much more emphasis on defense. Where is their version of Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook or Niklas Hjalmarsson? Don’t get me wrong, I love Matthews, Marner and Nylander leading the youth movement, but you need to keep the puck out of your net, too.. 6-6-3. Previous: 19th. Toronto Maple Leafs. 20. team
