Can't really hate on getting any players for free.

Hirose is 13 points ahead of his team's 2nd highest scorer and 16 points ahead of the team's 3rd highest scorer
Duszak is 10 points ahead of his team's 2nd highest scorer and 17 points ahead of the team's 3rd highest scorer.

10. Taro Hirose (Camp Invitee, Undrafted)
A smaller forward (5-foot-10, 161 pounds) who plays a smart two-way game, Hirose quietly went about his business, performing well in all five of Team Sittler’s scrimmages. Hirose has good awareness on the ice and great hands, scoring two goals against the draftees and generating some quality chances for his line. He may be too much of the same type of player Toronto already has in spades to garner another look down the road, but Hirose made his presence felt on the ice.

The Toronto Maple Smurfs has a nice ring to it. We can change our logo to a mushroom.
I'd lose to have a Yanni Gourde type player that Tampa has. How do you think they got him?
Funny thing is, Dubas wanted the Leafs to sign Gourde out of the ECHL.
They didn't, he signed with Tampa, and the rest is history.

Tbf if someone has high skill I don't care how tall or how wide they are.
If you possibly have another gaudreau on your hands, you should take it.
Our best player is Marner and he aint big.

He also wanted Debrincat instead of Korshkov. I'm sensing a pattern here. And it's not just a size thing.

I think Dubas firmly believes that if you can draft/sign top scoring leaders from the CHL/NCAA/wherever, that there's a good chance someone of them will translate. Everything else doesn't matter.

Very few of these undrafted NCAA types become serviceable NHLers. And the ones that do are almost always small guys who can score.

One of them was Martin StLouis. To this date I still can't believe the Flames gave up on that guy. lol

Best NCAA Free Agent this year by far in my opinion.
I would also look at Alex Limoges and Cam Lee, among others.
Kuffner, Veronneau and Sturm are fine too, but I like a few other guys before them. I also like Dakota Joshua more than most guys we could get as well.
It means the Marlies can use Timashov as a trade chip, since his value is at an all-time high.

Ya everyone that is complaining is right, we have no need for another possible Martin St. Louis in our lineup!!!! It sucks that Dubas keeps taking flyers on these overpaid, high draft choices that we already have too many of!!!!
