Leafs pay for gud pros... or good role models. Boyle last
2 second rounders? I hope you are not referring to Boyle.. he was incredibly instrumental in the leafs making the playoffs last season... I remember when we hit the slide at the end of the season last year he said something along the lines of “you guys talk about the kids a lot, but we have some veterans and we have pride and we know what we are capable of”.... something a long the lines of that.. which I felt was a message to the veterans that’s there is no excuse for losing, and being a young team wouldn’t be a crutch for them.
I felt like Boyle was the closest thing to a captain in the room from the time he was acquired until the time the leafs cleaned out their lockers, he was worth the price paid. Getting the youth the playoff experience at their young ages is huge.
Personally I love that we keep acquiring the gud pros, and continue to have our youth learn from the well rounded Boyle, Plekanec, Marleau and not the bobby Ryan’s, Rick nash’s, Kessels etc.
Two seconds < develop of our enormous cubboard of prospects, with great role models.
They go out in the first round again and that's 2 second rounders for a quick fix
