No way. That Toronto lineup is ridiculously overstocked in talent. You have two of the top three goal scorers over the last 4 seasons (Stamkos, Perry), you have the #7 goal scorer (Tavares), and then you arguably have the best two defensemen in the NHL. As long as the goalie isn't you or me, that lineup smokes all the other Canadian ones.
The only one that comes close is Winnipeg, and Salvador is a big drop-off from the Leafs defensemen, and you already know my feelings about James Reimer...

The Leafs would still find a way to screw it all up.

What if every NHL player "went home", like LeBron James? Here are the 7 Canadian teams - looks like it would be between Vancouver and Winnipeg, with Toronto just needing a better goalie.
