The Toronto Maple Leafs finally found a physical forward who can pitch in offensively.
When was the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs had a tough forward that can put up points? The only recent forwards to put up 30+ points while playing a physical role are Leo Komarov and Nazem Kadri.
Over the years, the Leafs have become a smaller, younger, and more skilled team. That also meant their top players had little to no protection. Toronto needed someone that can step in.
