Maybe you like clichés better? > Whether Joel Edmundson is making life miserable for the opposition or injecting a dash of sunshine into the Toronto Maple Leafs' room, the safe bet is the big man making an impact.

This is fun: > The offence has weakened slightly (2.66 xG/60 -> 2.52) but the defensive improvement is really striking.

Now maybe that is through keeping the puck alive, but it seems more like people expect Roy to have a certain effect, so they see it, when it's actually the opposite to his traditional style. > Webs!!! 👏 [https://t.co/BC71nJL1lY](https://t.co/BC71nJL1lY?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) [March 11, 2024](https://twitter.com/MapleLeafs/status/1767265885327151504?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Very obvious the Leafs will be signing "Webs" when his season is over. Now the other question is this: They didn't need to paper-trade Dmitry Ovchinnikov to make an SPC space for this guy. They created a second extra one. It's possible they're just looking for future flexibility if they find a FA to sign, but Mike Koster also sees his rights expire this August 15\. I love Koster a lot. He's a real fun player to watch, but I don't buy him as an NHLer. However, he would be an asset to the Marlies. I hope he's the guy they want to sign with the other SPC spot open.
