I gained a deeper appreciation for John Tavares after learning more about this Ryan O'Reilly situation. Tavares may not be the loudest in the room, but he chose to come home wear the C and shelter the burden. Has been nothing but a leader for the young guys and an exemplary pro.

For me, when William Nylander was drafted he represented a total culture change in the Maple Leafs. A focus on pure skill and offense, opting for a lesser known European prospect. Sounds cliche but Nylander was the original saviour of the franchise. Don’t know how we shit on him.
