Toronto Maple Leafs Need to Be Careful Not to Shut Out Rookies

The Toronto Maple Leafs could most likely dress one of the most boring, low-event, defensive bottom-six in the history of the NHL, if they wanted to.

The Toronto Maple Leafs brought in Cale Jarnkrok to compliment David Kampf and Pierre Engvall, then they brought in Zac Aston-Reese, Nicholas Aube-Kubal, and Adam Gaudette to compete for jobs with Kyle Clifford, Wayne Simmonds, Joey Anderson and Denis Malgin.

Those 10 players are all NHL players of various upsides, none of them high. But there are a lot of competent NHL players in this group, but I think the Leafs would be making a massive mistake if these are the only players who make the roster this year.
