The way Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke sees it, there is a job open on the team’s third line. It’s up to Nazem Kadri, Joe Colborne, Matt Frattin or Philippe Dupuis to grab it.
As the current Leafs top prospect, Kadri holds the inside track against lower prospects like Colborne and Frattin. Dupuis could possess a threat as he holds the most NHL experience, but the 26-year-old coudl just-as-well serve as a 13th forward.
