James van Riemsdyk vs Alex Galchenyuk

[Snippit]

Good question. Leafs 6th best forward vs montreals 2nd best

Montreal's 3rd best (Pacioretty, Drouin), and Toronto's 5th best (Marner, Matthews, Nylander, Kadri), according to the forward rankings this is being done for.

 

[The Great Weal]

The one who still produced in a terrible season without playing with Marner.
