I dont see a big problem with the Leafs D as it stands
everybody thinks you need a big Stud D to have any success...6 competent NHL D will work

My thoughts are not the caliber of D that's our issue, we need more time for our's to gain experience/develop, and get comfortable at the NHL level.

at least one if not 2 of these guys needs to make, and breakout.

Optimism leads to disappointment
And disappointment leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
and hate leads to the dark side

I always said Jake should be a winger. Some people always disagreed, but I thought it could work.. don't think that's an option any more unfortunately.

I'm in no rush, I feel were just getting the ball rolling in the right direction and picking up some speed.

Matthews is huge
Zaitsev is a very nice free addition

nothing beats hitting a ground rule double after a grand slam (Matthews)

Stamkos is the grand slam

Vesey is the pop fly

I agree with you on this point - he seems to do well on the rush and the Leafs are weak on the left side anyways. The option is still there!!

Great free pickup. Stamkos and Vesey next.

Not according to Garth!! He's a plug-and-play superstar!

It would be like the second coming of Mike Johnston.

didn't he play on the wing in college too?

Plus, the almighty Ian White rotated between dman & winger

Jake's got a big body, quick, and his shot is pretty good too. He's smart in the O-zone, but horrible in his own end.. ingredients of a good winger for the Leafs

gotcha

it just feels like Leaf fans are constantly trying to force things... At the moment the Leafs really dont know what they have on D... several mystery boxes

Just e-mailed the Molson rep and booked my playoff tickets....

Serious question: did you watch a franking minute of a Leafs game this year?

Unless he signs with the Leafs.

Then he's a pampered, over-rated, ego maniac bust.
