Some highlights: > [Mikhail Grabovski](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54327/mikhail-grabovski?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Clarke MacArthur](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55209/clarke-macarthur?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and [Nikolai Kulemin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54310/nikolai-kulemin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) are the only three regular forwards on the team with plus ratings. Kessel is slightly below zero while playing with career AHLer Joey Crabb (apparently a very "high event" player) on his left wing for the last little while (and [Tyler Bozak](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71017/tyler-bozak?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) at centre all year). Weird how a good player can struggle with a career AHLer and a struggling sophomore eh? Bet that doesn't happen to anyone else. Oh, and a reminder about my favourite hobby horse: > [Francois Beauchemin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54518/francois-beauchemin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) remains the team's top shutdown defender, as he boasts the lowest CA/60 amongst the corps while matching up against top opposition night after night. The data on the powerplay and penalty kill are equally insightful. More links after the jump!

[The Leafs: can’t help the past; the future always looks brighter—what about the here and now?](http://vintageleafmemories.blogspot.com/2011/01/leafs-cant-help-past-future-always.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Could there be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
