First brothers suiting up for the Leafs since the Ihnacak brother
Sometimes the game is a foot too fast. Doesnt mean they are brain dead. It’s difficult making the NHL let alone career out of it.121 NHL games, 25G/24A, 12.6 shooting %.
He had a decent year with Buff in 18/19, another with Chicago in 19/20, and then really nothing until last year with the Blue Jackets where he popped for 15 points in 23 games.
What's holding this kid back? Brain dead?
Alex is much like his brother, great offence / defensive lapses. He needs to play sheltered minutes to be effective. He will score but he will also be a hot mess without the puck.
I think it will revolve in who needs waivers to go back down. You keep your depth for later. It's a long yearYes but it'll come down to whoever is playing best in the end.
Hopefully we get some picks for Robertson/Holmberg and have a healthier new year.
After 121 NHL games, why would he have stage fright more than the rookie call-ups?Anyone else scared he is going to stand around watching the game with stage freight? Guy suffers from analysis paralysis.
Willy and Mikey boy better lay into him and get him doing stuff.
