In this busy time of year one of my favourite traditions is to a few moments to discuss the Leafs defensive depth situation. It didn't seem likely that there would be any need to understand the depth beyond Dakota Mermis, but thanks to his injury on Monday night, here we are discussing who replaces Mermis on the Leafs roster.
What are your first impressions of Troy Stetcher as he's joined the team? Berube: Good guy; a solid guy. His character stands out to me, and his effort. I thought he had a really good practice today. He plays hard. As I've said, he is a compete guy. He competes on everything and plays a pretty simple game.
