Trevor Moore (5’10, 182 lbs, Thousand Oaks, California, LW)

Another Dubas-Babcock lovechild, Moore brings tenacity and skill to the table for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Last year Moore got into 25 games for the Leafs, scoring two goals and eight points in total.  He then suited up for all seven games against the Boston Bruins in the playoffs.

Moore acquitted himself well and has earned a shot to play a full season with the Leafs.

Moore has had a very good pre-season, putting up 3 points in 2 games. Granted, it is pre-season, Moore looks to have taken another step offensively this year, as a Hyman/Brown hybrid. Moore being able to show that he’s capable of filling into the top nine, will be huge for Toronto’s options going forward.

Moore will start on a line with Kerfoot and Mikheyev, and while it’s hard to know if they’ll be successful, it is certainly one of the more intriguing lines in the NHL heading into the season.

Moore’s tenacity will make him a fan and coach favorite, and if he can score at the NHL level then he’s going to be a very good player.
