Sujet: Are the Leafs deeper than last season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>dubas literally took the hyman money, built us a solid 3rd line of ritchie-kampf-kase, then replaced hyman with a younger dude for &lt;$1M who will likely fill most of the hole left by hyman on this team lol

"haha what lyle, that's crazy hyman is a god"

hyman was pretty poo poo in his first season, and compared to bunting's first foray into the league, he was a lot better lol. Bunting also has 5 pro seasons under his belt where he's been excellent, hyman only had 1 half-season split between AHL/NHL, the rest being college</div></div>

If you watch bunting he plays very similarly to Hyman. Digging out pucks, in players faces, very hard to play against, just really annoying. A little more finesse to his game as well as a better shot. Bunting didn’t just have that season playing in sheltered minutes, he was playing 16-17 mins a night in the top 6 in ARI, against other teams top lines. Imagine what he can do with Matthews and marner. I could easily see him scoring 15 maybe 20 goals on that line. I’m glad Dubas didn’t go the goodrow/Coleman/Hyman type route of overpaying middle six grinders, instead is taking very low risk moves on guys he sees a lot of potential in that can replace these types of guys.

Yup, now he needs to go out and prove it. I think he will. Love his style of game. Seems to have an awesome attitude as well.

Sujet: Lines with Ritchie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>to be fair, 6-7 other teams offered bunting more money to play for them and he turned it down to come to toronto

you could also say most teams don't have a top 6 centred by matthews/tavares calibre players and two top 20 wingers like mitch/willy

ritchie might be a third liner, but with JT/willy he could still be pretty effective imo

i do agree though that kerfoot is quite valuable to the leafs, given he kind of does everything lol</div></div>

Leafs....like all teams to be successful need their bottom enders to play above their contract. I just think Kerfoot is needed due to the Leafs "iffiness" at centre behind Tavares and Matthews.
Interesting that the Leafs "traded" 2.5m Ritchie for 3.8m Foligno. I wasn't impressed by Foligno and wouldn't be at anything over 2.5m.
Yeah I hope for Ritchie and Bunting but Leafs are going to be have trouble putting together a 22 man roster.
