Gardiner Marner were the point guys. Kadri never played point on the PP
Toronto lost 3 power play players (Bozak, JvR, Leo). The LW and C2/point guys is going to be interesting. Leivo, Kapanen, Brown, and Johnsson are going to be battling for those spots. Remember Kadri was playing the point on PP2 with Bozak centreing that line.

Leafs are currently a 10/1 to win the cup next year . #1 out of all NHL teams
Know what, I was remembering I guess when he rotated up, I dunno, I really thought he was the Point Guy. Maybe when they were bad he was the point guy?
Daily Face-off has it as Marner-Rielly and then Marleau-Gardiner.

Austin Matthews wants to win period. He was on the phone courting Tavares to Toronto. There have been MULTIPLE reports he is ecstatic with the JT signing. He wanted JT here... to think now he'd be pissed? Not a chance. This will work fine.
If the Pitts example is too organic due to drafting both.. then Washington with a veteran C bringing in Kuznetsov who supplanted Backstrom from the top line with Ovie is a good example... they just went out and won a Cup.

it's still a better example than Pitts where Malkin was drafted first and arrived at the same time. Backstrom in place for years before Kuzy came across the pond, several years after.
It really is a moot point anyway. AM is as pumped as Kadri for this signing and was involved directly in the process (see phone call to JT) in trying to convince him to pick Tor. Matthews is Happy. Tavares is Happy. Leafs Nation is Happy.
Everyone, but fans of 30 other teams are Happy ... The easy answer to Axe's question about AM being happy playing 'second fiddle' to Tavares is - Yes

Just as long as the he is still happy next year when his contract renewal comes up. If he plays 2nd fiddle all year and then Leafs try getting him at the lower rate than Tavares.
Also, wouldn't it be ironic if Matthews did the same thing to TO and left for his hometown when it comes down to his first UFA contract. Coyotes, start your pitching now!
Martin just dumped for free. I am 99% sure Lou is a double agent working for the Leafs.
Paves the way (cap space) to sign Calvin de Haan.
