Babcock is going to keep him, question is if he plays him enough that Leafs fans start pulling their hair out over it.

 

[KeziaTML]

This would be awesome if it was 2010-2011 Brandon Prust.

 

[Joel Ward]

Meh as long as he doesn't take a spot away from a deserving kid because of his "toughness", I won't mind.

Does he play RW at all? Could get a Martin - Komarov - Prust line going and forget about scoring all together!

 

[Canada4Gold]

as long as he's competing for the same spot Greening and Michalek are competing for. We better not send down Brown, or Soshnikov, or lose Leivo for nothing on waivers just to keep Prust unless those players clearly prove they don't deserve it in camp.

Leafs are truly tanking for Liljegren

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I like this a lot we were to damn soft last year and he can help address that he should be able to beat out Michleak for a spot

 

[Mad Brills*]

The leafs have leivo/holland as waiver eligibles who are better than him ,and will be missing 4 forwards (matthews/komarov/jvr/michalek) due to the world cup. It's likely a camp body.

 

[Hunter368]

Prust is such a tool.

Pretty sure Vancouver has that spot wrapped up

Hes really not good at hockey i dont think is what you guys need and hes a pout remember last year when he got in a hissy fit when he was gonna be scratched at a game in New York? Keep him away Leafs please

 

[Finnish your Czech]

please dont take a roster spot away from a young player. leafs already have matt martin

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Good invite, I love this guy. Obviously, the way he plays he won't be having a 12 year career but hope he sticks. Look after the young guys.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Prust is such a tool.

He's anything but, he's an honest hockey player trying to make a living. Hes never done anything toolish as far as I can tell and I include the Stepan incident being that I'm a NYR fan. No risk move by the leafs.

 

[SML]

Some guys age like a bottle of wine.
Others age like a gallon of milk.
There ain't no cork in Prust.
I loved this guy. One of my all time favorite Rangers, but the style of play chewed him up and left nothing but gristle. He's there for some young guy to make a name for himself fighting. Prust will be lucky to catch on IMO.

 

[biturbo19]

The kind of guy it wouldn't hurt to have around with all the young players the Leafs are likely to have in the lineup. Especially for the preseason. But last year, his wheels were just so completely gone. He just couldn't play at NHL pace anymore. Doubt that's changed.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Maybe he can take Martin's roster spot.

 

[Hunter368]

Wow, you need to look up all his stupid comments over his career. Complete idiot

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Maybe he can take Martin's roster spot.

He won't but I still think that Prust has value especially for a young skilled team. Nevertheless, it's a good risk free move to have a look.

 

[BreakingGood]

a team with like 18 forwards who are good enough to play in the NHL invites one who's a fringe AHLer to camp. What a world.

 

[iBELEAF]

my god this guy is a clown. please no

 

[Golden_Jet]

Prust is done...bad move for the leafs imho

 

[He]

Close to being my least favourite Canuck to watch over the last few years.

 

[Dominator13]

Because they add a 4th line depth tryout player? Be serious.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I always get a laugh out of these threads, people complaining about a PTO. It's a camp invite guys, no reason to get your knickers in a knot.
