You have that much faith in Hannu Toivonen's progression to think he can carry the Bruins' to a playoff berth?
Not exclusively.
But, if Ottawa can be knocked down three or four places thanks to one man's departure ( which seems pretty likely), then, logically, the same's arrival should bump Boston up three or four places.
Like I said, I'm not holding my breath, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me, either.
