He’s had a nice start with the Marlies and deserves a call up in lieu of the injuries

 

[cyris]

Makes sense we are decimated by injuries and running out of warm bodies.
Give him a chance but I don’t see home being as Berube type player at all

But who knows maybe he finds something plate with his brother

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Finally. I actually think he will be quite productive.

 

[Enniskillen]

Just a warm body to keep a seat warm while the half of the forwards are on IR/LTIR.

Yeah probably, we have like 7 forwards on IR so someone has to play

 

[The Shadow]

Here is his shot. No better time in his life to solidify himself as an NHLer with half the forwards out for quite a while

 

[MoreMogilny]

Play him with Nylander so that we don’t have to watch Robertson try and fail even more

 

[toddkaz]

Poor little brother. Lets hope he sticks just so its a good story.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's talented when he wants to be. The want has just always been in question.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Only took 7 forwards out to give him a shot lol.

 

[ole ole]

A win-win signing for the Leafs.

 

[HockeyVirus]

This guy is just awful and not a Berube player. Won't play many if any games. Maybe a few to justify the NHL deal but the moment we get close to healthy launch this bum back where he came from

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

I actually didn’t know he wasn’t still on the CBJ. I remember his little nice run of games while playing there last year

 

[sxvnert]

The hope is Willy will push his ass, otherwise hes on the next flight back to sweden permanently.

 

[McGarnagle]

Now get Michael out of retirement and put him at C between the kids

 

[WarriorofTime]

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

 

[Smif]

When we send him down eventually he'll probably get picked up which will suck for him. He'd rather be in the AHL rather than another NHL city.

Bronny Nylander

Their dad is weird. Hire Nyllet as a scout of South America and Asia and both sons will perform

 

[hawksrule]

If he was ever going to figure it out, he would have done it before now. Lot of wasted talent.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Alex is going to break out now. people soon are going to be like William who?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You laugh but he's got seventy plus point talent.

 

[ClydeLee]

I thought he actually did well on stints in a 4th line role, you'd think not, but being told to play north-south helps him and if he's got the puck with 2 more grinding linemates, he can occasionally produce

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hopefully he gets a shift with his brother.
