Grittier Leafs

Montreal already have Tatar, Drouin, Lehkonen, Byron and Domi who can play on the left wing. Acquiring Johnsson would not make sense at all. Kapanen would be the one to consider here from Habs point of view.

The Leafs just have to be better. Actually the Leafs showed a lot "grit" last year that few recognize. They were buried out of playoffs until they fired the worse coach in the NHL....and then recovered in be in a playoff position. There top two Dmen were LTIR...Reilly and Muzzin.....Dermot too. Tavares, Marner and Andersson were missed games. So I don't why folks feel the current edition of the Leafs "lack grit"

If you want tougher, don't know how a 160 pound junior Robertson answers that question. Charitot for Dermot I wouldn't do as a trade and then you put Chariot on his off side. Jenner just isn't a good offensive centre and you need your 3C to have offensive skills. He's more of a third line winger.

I'd take Jenner over Kerfoot everyday of the week (IF it's a healthy Boone).

If Robertson plays like Marner in training camp let him play, I recall Marner was a long shot for making the team and thought to be sent to finish his Jr. career because of his lack of size.

By your Jenner is so much better than Kerfoot logic, why does CBJ do the deal. You know training camp mean practically nothing. Teams are 1/3 NHLers, 1/3 AHLer and 1/3 juniors, and PTOs. Leafs fans seems really fascinating by junior or AHL stats. Bracco as an example. Realistically does Robertson make the team, and the post was based on making the the Leafs grittier and tougher....does Robertson fit the bill?

Yes Robertson is not grittier. But you can not argue that Marner surprised everyone in his rookie season and that was all due to having a great camp.

BJ's don't trade Jenner. Ever. Torts loves him.
