James van Riemsdyk (A)

van Riemsdyk had a bounce back season. He’s a support player who hadn’t had many to support since the departure of Phil Kessel.

Ya, well that all changed this past season.

His veteran presence was a valuable asset on this young Leafs team.

In 82 games played, he scored 29 goals and 62 points, a career best.

His stock value is through the roof right now. The only reason he didn’t receive an A+ is because he didn’t make 30 goals and I know that’s pretty cold on my part.

But, I would’ve loved to see him hit that mark.
