I have been a Leaf fan for 42 years and it's always the same thing. You have a guy who hustles and plays gritty a so called guy who overachieves and the fan base idolizes those type of players while trashes the talented guys who don't produce more than they should and never make a mistake
In my early days it was Brad "Motor " Smitty a 4th line banger/tough guy who fans loved and cried when he was let go...but he was just a plugger/grinder. We booed an HOF out of town Larry Murphy.
Same for the Jays they love Kawasaki cause he hustles but he sucks...
Leaf fans love their 4th line grinder and energy guys and eat their stars.
D'Amigo is a dime a dozen guy there are 100's each on during FA or can be drafted in the later rounds to be replaced.
Give me the guy with higher potential any day of the week to fill out top 9 roles
