Hall Of Fame Defenseman Reveals What The Maple Leafs Are Lacking
This hall-of-fame defenceman recently revealed what he thinks the Leafs are missing from their roster that will help them get over the hump.
Chris Pronger Reveals The Leafs Are Missing Grit on the Blueline
In the Leafs Morning Take podcast today, legendary defenseman Chris Pronger was asked about his opinion on the Leafs' roster as it is today, and what he thinks they are still missing. His response was that they were still missing something on the back end in terms of toughness.
Obviously, Pronger has seen how a team can be successful with a gritty, hard-nosed, shutdown defenseman in their midst, as he was that for most of his career. He thinks that they have that in their forwards, but are still missing that in their back end.
Pronger Not Quite Sold on the Leafs Roster and Upcoming Season
Pronger also shared his thoughts on the Leafs' overall roster, and that he believes they still have some question marks up and down the lineup. Overall, he still has the same questions that are asked before every Leafs' season.
The Leafs are certainly hoping that Samsonov can repeat the success that he showed last season with Matt Murray out long-term. Only time will tell whether or not Brad Treliving's tougher group will have an impact in the spring.
