He was ok with Tavares and Nylander, and even in the playoffs without Tavares, so the Leafs could have brought him back but I think they wanted somebody with more grit in that spot. They seem pretty high on Bunting. I think the problem with Galchenyuk is that he's no longer good enough to play in the top 6 but he's not the kind of player who can be effective in the bottom 6. In Arizona he should get a chance to play in the top 6, and that was the last place he put up decent numbers so it could be a good fit.
