Eye-testing the Maple Leafs after two preseason games

Full disclosure: I did not watch every minute of the first two pre-season games with rapt attention. I’m not letting that stop me from telling you how everyone looked, however.

The roster has the players in alphabetical order, so that’s what I’m going with.

Connor Brown: He was his usual self — worked hard, didn’t do anything exciting or terrible, and played well with Nazem Kadri.

Emerson Clark: I had forgotten he was one of the AHL signings, and he looked easily as good as the other AHLers on NHL deals like Trevor Moore and Dmytro Timashov.
