Leipsic was a stud for the marlies.. pretty much tortured Greens Comets teams.... Holm was the comets top defensman.
I still remember when Leipsic was offered as the main piece for Dougie Hamilton by some Leafs fans. Good times, good times.
Oh... Was hoping he was a grittier guy who.would be a checker PK guy. Doubt he is able to play a scoring role so rather just have guys who can do the defensive heavy lifting to free horvat and his line for more offensive starts.He's a smaller skilled forward. Great speed, shifty good with the puck. I always enjoyed watching him play vrs the Comets.
he's that too. Was always compared to Gallagher & Marchand (pre-perennial allstar version) on his way up. He's very little, but is always initiating contact and holds his own, but is speedy & skilled enough that we thought he could be a 2nd line winger at times coming up. He's still a bit of a mystery box, has scored everywhere that he's been put in a position to do so, and seems to be fine in a bottom 6 role as wellOh...

Leipsic never had that kind of opportunity with either of his former teams. Benning/Green were smart to give him a shot with really good linemates right away in a year that the results don't matter. He was very productive in the AHL when he played with good players and got good minutes, I still think a Brendan Gallagher clone is not out of the question as a resultThe line of Leipsic-Horvat-Boeser was unreal tonight. Amazing acquisition

I haven't heard anything related to attitude issues with his own team. He's been called "the most annoying prospect in hockey" at times, but that was in regards to the other team's perspective. I've never heard him spout off to the media, or about him conflicting with his own players/coaches and he played for teams that I follow for quite a whileWhat I know about Leipsic is that he has attitude problems. Toronto didn't call him up last season when he was playing well with the Marlies and insisted Vegas take him. Vegas traded him for cheap when he actually was playing well for them. I think there's potential he's a Canuck as long as Green is there, although he needs the right discipline.
How did TO insist Vegas take him? You can do that...simply insist an expansion team tale a certain player off your roster?Toronto didn't call him up last season when he was playing well with the Marlies and insisted Vegas take him.
