i wouldn't expect a franchise player for a while.. in my opinion, atleast with Seguin the leafs had the CHANCE of following up with another solid draft pick - kind of like edmonton with eberle (drafted 22nd overall, Luke Schenn went 5th) and hall. Now they're stuck fishing for a "franchise" player to compliment Kessel, instead of being able to focus more on the team development. I personally believe in building from scratch, not little touch up patch work.
Anyway, the toronto rock's season starts in jan, now there is a team everyone should get behind!!
GO ROCK GO!!!
