Michael Bunting is a Maple Leaf

Thanks for the responses.  I'm going to spend the afternoon trying to figure out whether he's higher or lower than Mike "Who?" Amadio in my Love Hierarchy.

Mike Amadio you can consider like Travis Boyd. Bunting is like Vesey, but won't fall down so much, and attacks the slot. One is bottom-line insurance, the other is a higher upside gamble.

Whenever you get the opportunity to improve in falls/60, you?ve gotta pull the trigger.

Should I be excited?  (Confession: been glossing over all the glossing on here surrounding this dude.)

He could end up going back to the AHL or he could end up excelling in a top-6 spot alongside one of the big duos. Or somewhere in between. Who knows. Fingers crossed the Leafs finally get one of those "steals" that we never seem to get.

It's also basically a no-risk move. If he works out, amazing. If not? He'll be good for the Marlies, with no impact on the cap.

Yeah, that's the way I see it. Absolutely no risk move with some upside.

First goal was him blowing past Cale Makar.

Later on he makes Shea Theodore look silly.

If he sticks in the NHL he'll be a fan favourite very quickly.

You know, until 2 years from now when we have to pay him more.
 
This guy's ancestor helped discover insulin so he's ok in my books!



Oh wait that's Banting, nevermind

Man they hype up depth guys.  Last year I remember it was Vesey...and his Harvard chemistry with Kerfoot

Of course they do...it's Leafland. Bunting will be good whether playing on the Marlies or the Leafs. Kid apparently is a pain to play against and that's a good thing. We'll see.

If he is so good why did the Yotes let him go?  Not an expensive player.

"You know, I play the role so well that it's gotten me into 26 NHL games since I was drafted in 2014.  So yeah, similar to Brad Marchand."
