I wonder if they will play Leivo with Willie when he comes up? Leivo was willies left winger on the marlies.
I've watched a lot of Leivo with the Marlies, he's been great this year. He just keeps developing well, and has looked like he belongs at the NHL so far. I definitely see 20-25 goal potential in him.
I never thought he would be described as a player with good vision and IQ though.
From my viewings he's a north-south player with decent speed and a good shot who forechecks well. The third best player on a scoring line or good bottom-6er.
Good bottom 6, but one who can chip in offense, own the boards, have a good stick to win puck battles, good speed, and has some good size in him.
I'd definitely take him over a guy like Boyes.
Yep. A guy with his skill-set is useful in a scoring role as well. Sort of how Abdelkader plays on the top line in Detroit.

I'd like to see Komorov - Kadri - Leivo as a line.
if you like Leivo and you should! wait until this russian dude Nikita Soshnikov comes up!! you will love him!! scores more points on the third line than he does on the first line! He is the next marlie that will become a regular leaf along with Leivo.
I like Sosh, but I watched a game down in Syracuse and Leipsic was the best player on the ice by a mile...engaged in the play every shift and skates like the wind. Just had another big game in St John's....
a Leaf next year Im guessing.

I don't think I can take watching Grabner and Matthias in the top 6 anymore.
Leivo couldn't possibly do any worst. His shot alone would be a massive upgrade over Matthias and Grabner.
