That makes very little sense.  He’s not big, physical, and he can skate.

Why would the Leafs do that?

...because this guy has a nasty edge to him PLUS has all the offensive skills.  A good mix I am sure in Burke’s eyes.

Good offensive signing. Still a young player, lots of development to do and he gets to do it at the NHL level while the Leafs only have to spend 2.9/yr on him.  No lose for the team there.

Now they just need to surround him with some other skillful players… in due time I guess.
