im sorry no.
Imo holl cannot play 18-20mins a night well.
But yes, i expect nothing less than the addition of a right hand D. Its been a glaring issue for years. If dubi doesnt had one, hes failed.

Your opinion has been duly noted. I think you're wrong.

Lehtonen can play the right, but he's not a natural rightie.

If I had to guess... Lehtonen playing the right is a plan B... Not plan A.

Pretty sure Lehtonen was signed with RD in mind. Not only has a played an entire season in Sweden as a RHD but he has literally said "sometimes I like it more."

It's plan A and everything I've read about him seems to say that he's good on either side.

If one of those Elite core guys goes down, hope the Leafs have someone or two to fill those skates.

What if Matthews goes down? What if Marner goes down? I guess we should dump all of our "elite" players and, instead, sign a bunch of mediocre players instead -- just in case.

Matthews-Marner-Tavares
Rielly-Petro-Muzzin

Pretty solid core that can survive some injuries, I think. What's the alternative? Sign some guys who are less than elite and hope they can somehow step up their game if one of the remaining elites goes down?!

If our GM signed a left hander who's never played in the NHL, with the intention of him playing top 4 minutes on the right hand side.. Because he played the right for one year in Sweden and literally "sometimes likes it more"...?

I really wouldn't even know what to tell you.
