Yes.

Pearson might pan out but I don't hold out much hope for Leivo.

14G in around 75 games. He'll be fine.

I see him as one of 10 of the 3rd liners. I don't care about most of them.

Leivo is what he is

Pearson can be what he was

Leivo is filler like Granlund and Sven were

In a few years you’ll have drafted players replacing him

Leivo is what he is

Pearson can be what he was

Both can be 20 goal guys with the right TOI.

Leivo had very limited Ice time in TO so it was nice to see him produce a bit here.

Expect Pearson to have a higher ceiling here next season in the top 6 possibly but not much more than 20 goals.

Pretty much know what to expect from both given their minutes.

Not Leivo in my opinion unless he is on a line with Petey & Boeser plus 1st unit PP. Then maybe 20.

He’s like goldy ...can produce on a top line but without the skill help he’s a 25 point guy

We will be loaded with 20 goal scorers, next season. Bo, Brock, Elias, Pearson, Leivo, Sven Jake and Lavoie.😁

It's a tough call but it's close.

10 goals in Van in 49 games up and down all 4 lines.

But agreed with top 6 minutes and line mates it would help huge.

The problem with this theory is Benning doesn't have the stones to do it.

This could be the year that GMs start breaking the code.

You have GMs that use tax cuts like Tampa and Vegas as an advantage.

You have teams that use their cities for advantage like NY LA Miami

You have team that use sponsorship like TO and Canadian tire and Scotiabank to their advantage.

You have teams like Edm using McDavid as a selling point .

You can sit by and watch other teams take advantage of things while you stick to the standards or you can be an Alpha GM

I don't think he will be the first to do it but I think at least one GM will open the flood gates.

Same as I see one GM picking up Voynov.

Didn't the league get involved and say he wasn't welcome back? Could be a figment of my imagination.

They banned him for a year and an arbitrator agreed but said he has already served 42 of the 82 games . So is is suspended for 40 more.

Still think JB will make a trade of some sort at the draft. During the summer for sure.
