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.

Deserved with his play all though more to do with injuries. Play him will Willy just because

Marlies line:

This was predictable based on Berube's past lines.

Some of these players on the bubble are going to get 6-7 games before a decision is made regarding the roster.
It is basically open try out season.

 

[Da Mash]

First brothers suiting up for the Leafs since the Ihnacak brother

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?

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.
The kid has some talent. Will he change his game to find a spot here? It was a free wallet. Let’s see if he takes that next step. Might be a full time AHL’er and nothing is wrong with that.

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.

More worried about him standing around doing nothing dazed and confused like in pre. Hope the Marlies conditioned him better for Berube.
