Assuming the Leafs fall into the #3 spot in the Atlantic, their path to the Eastern Conference Finals likely goes through Ottawa and Montreal. Not exactly a gargantuan task.

The Leafs used to struggle against the sens in the regular season when they were beating them in the playoffs every spring.

The main takeaway from this piece is that every time Ben Smith was traded at the deadline, the team that moved him went on to the Stanley Cup finals (and that the recipient team missed the playoffs): 2015 Chicago to San Jose, then 2016 San Jose to Toronto.
