Leafs have no clue how to manage the cap and will overpay just like the brady bunch

It's actually far worse than that. They are having to relearn player development and how to manage the cap.

Dubas was a complete and total failure. Amazing I caught on to this while he was a only the AGM. Not hard to tell he was a phony and a fraud.

He's moderately tenacious and not fast at all, but he really suffers because he doesn't seem to be able to find the 'pockets'.

Mitch, Matthews, Willy, Domi and Knies can find the pockets. For a shooter, he can't seem to isolate himself and end up at the right place.

It'd be nice to have another guy for the PK but this isn't it.
We had him out there penalty killing (in practice) because I do think that he can be a penalty killer for us with his speed and his tenacity,” Berube said. “It’s something I want to keep working on with him and him to keep building."

I could see him being useful as long as he doesn't cheat and get running around too much.

Does he think he can be a PKer? Some guys are just goal junkies, they want to shoot / score. I cant see this guy who scored 60+ in the Jr.'s. All of a sudden say hey, I want to block shots for a living, because blocking shots is not painful, not me...He might have the skill but does he have the will? I don't see it.

The question is... will he get another chance here? If he does, he better put the biscuit in the basket.... or his time might be over. This is a results orientated game, and if he isn't scoring he just isn't as useful as some other players.

It looks like he draws back in tonight. Take advantage of your opportunities... in the past, it's almost been a lock when he comes back into the lineup that he scores.

He has the will. Desire is the least of his worries. Can't be worse than Holmberg the PK pylon.
