The Toronto Sun had an article out two days ago, one of their standard sorts where it’s not just about one thing, but has whole disparate bits haphazardly glued together. It’s a sign of the times that I missed the nugget of news inside it. Not who Morgan Rielly is dating, although that is the headline, but the quote from Kyle Clifford’s agent about his desire to re-sign with the Leafs. He does. According to his agent, the Leafs want him back too.
Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be. Even if Clifford, who has great career shot-based results, failed to impress in a very small sample of time as a Maple Leaf, Sheldon Keefe sure does like having some big guys as depth.
