Well, that depends. Is he going to play 6 minutes a night? Also, the Leafs face the Bruins tonight, so... it's unlikely their offence is going to do much, anyway.

Always a good read, even if this one only has one point on the Leafs.

Pointing out problems with the current incarnation of the Leafs doesn't make him any less of a fan.

[Connor Brown named OHL player of the week](http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=700482&navid=DL%7CTOR%7Chome&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Always a good thing to hear. Brown [leads the OHL in scoring](http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/stats/show/type/top%5Fscorers/ls%5Fseason/49?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) by a good margin, though it's true he's in his draft +2 year.

Measuring a player's value with a single number is a worthy pursuit, but it's a really tough thing to do in hockey. Here's one of the reasons why.
