Paul Bissonnette Makes Huge Prediction For Maple Leafs
Paul Bissonnette went on The Leafs Nation podcast recently to discuss a wide range of topics, but during the show he made some big predictions for the Maple Leafs.
Bissonnette: Leafs Easily Secure Top Three Spot In Atlantic
Bissonnette has been a vocal supporter of the Blue and White in recent years so perhaps his predictions should be taken with a small grain of salt, but it should be a relatively safe bet for the Leafs to finish in the top three of the Atlantic this year.

"Overall I think this is a team that is easily going to make playoffs, it's just a matter of what they can do and how they are gelling at the time when they do get there. They're going to finish top 3 in that division and they are going to make playoffs."
Bissonnette Loves the Tough Guy Additions Leafs Made
The former enforcer went on to give his opinions about some of the additions the Leafs made this offseason, particularly the 'tough guys' like Ryan Reaves.
"I just like where they are from a team toughness perspective, especially with adding Reaves as well. All the other guys can just worry about playing, if they need him in the lineup, they have that intimidation factor."
Bissonnette played a very similar role to Reaves when he was in the NHL so he is well aware of the value those kinds of players can bring to a club.
