Your life must be pretty drab. Though, I must admit, I would be quite happy with the deal as well.

I think Rielly will be our next captain in the next 2 to 3 years. He definetly has leadership qualities that Phanuef does not.

He also used to be waiting for them when they got off the bus at the end of a road trip. Coaches can’t say enough about the kid. Speaking of character guys that’s why i would love to see the leafs draft alumni’s son……Kerby Rychel. This kid is exactly what we need based on where we are looking at drafting if this play keeps up.

One thing to note, Burke has drafted many captains and assistant captains in the CHL.

He loves great character, and since Toronto is a hard place to play in…That was needed.

Their is no greater character in hockey then Morgan Reilly, which is why he will most likely develop into a star.

The guy used to wake up at 6 am in the morning to wish his teammates good luck before they boarded onto the bus to their next game. That is unbelievable character and what usually gets you a place in a roster.

Ya we have a definate increase in home grown NHL calibre talent waiting in the wings. I have not been this excited about Leaf prospects in years. While I am not saying they will all be all stars, it is just nice to see qualtiy team players coming up the pipeline.

Leivo has been terrific this year. He was great for an average Sudbury team and is being the go-to guy in Kitchener.

A younger Lupul? I was surprised he was not called for the WJC.

I actually really like Matt Finn of the G Storm, reminds me a bit of Matt Greene in Los Angeles. Mobile, tough, moves the puck well.

Berezin and Valk actually Leafy.

I loved that line. Perrault came in and played with Berezin and Valk and they were money. Especially in the 2nd round vs Pittsburgh.
