At this point his spot is up in the air. If he can earn a spot in the big club, I'd bet he's playing winger somewhere in the middle 6.

But long term, if he turns into what they hope, id bet he's the guy they want at 2c behind mcdavid going forward.

Who says he can't be a great LW? One of the issues he had defensively was played too deep in the offensive zone ( like a winger) and wasn't in position when the other team took possession. Putting a Center on the wings is way easier than a Winger at Center.

Edit: of course theirs Lander...who is a good Center but useless as nipples on an iron chest plate as a winger.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if he spends some time on landers wing this season.

Especially if chiarelli spends some real dollars on a defender and we're abit it cash strapped

Assuming he's the best option of course.
As Spending a season in the a at his natural position would also be fine by me

Regardless of my admitted troll, it's certainly debatable.
And far from a ridiculous statement that Leon has been on par or better than Sam this past junior season.

And neither is it a huge stretch that Leon may also be the better nhl'er.

As I said, I think both will be quality nhl'ers and bring a much needed skill set to their respective teams

In a perfect world, both will be elite 2c's behind the 1c's of eichel/mcdavid

As we both know, judging now is ludicrous... but having both of them as 2c's makes for EDM vs BUF SCF in 4-5 years. Incredible 2c's if you ask me.

It won't be tougher when Bogosian is injured or in the penalty box.

Bogosian is very average for a 3rd overall pick

Pro-tip: if you want to learn more about Mike Futa, who may be the next gm in Toronto, make sure to use his full name in Google searches.
