The Leafs will kick off their 2019-20 season with great expectations. Led by Auston Matthews, John Tavares, and Mitch Marner, Toronto is hoping to bring home their first Stanley Cup since 1967. They currently have the longest Stanley Cup drought, as they haven’t won one in 52 years.
Tyson Barrie and Alexander Kerfoot will both be making their Leafs debuts after the Leafs acquired them for Nazem Kadri and Calle Rosen. Jason Spezza will be making his as well.
Additionally, Rasmus Sandin will be making his NHL debut. Toronto will be naming a captain at some point during the pre-game festivities. All signs point to Tavares being the guy.
