The Rest of the Toronto Maple Leafs Forwards
Calle Järnkrok: Calle Järnkrok could use a set of pillows shaped as pucks. A set of plush hockey puck-shaped pillows for impromptu pillow fights with teammates during road trips could help toughen up Järnkrok. He just needs to be careful not to accidentally whack someone into the hotel minibar.
Tyler Bertuzzi: A white labcoat may never be Tyler Bertuzzi’s chosen attire, but getting him a science kit may be a wonderful choice of gifts. Experimenting with simple science may do the winger a world of good.
Max Domi: Max Domi is trying to pave his own way in the NHL, without being compared to his legendary father’s career. Being a fan favourite, Tie Domi can help make Max’s gift happen by playing a game of one-on-one with with his son. This can finally show how different each of the Domis’ styles of play differ.
David Kämpf: It’s not an insult to say that David Kämpf may be one of the most boring players on the Leafs. He’s there to do a job. He wins faceoffs and comes back to defend. Kämpf isn’t flashy and isn’t expected to be. So, the best thing to get a boring player is a boring gift. Kämpf’s best gift is a coffee mug. Just to make it more fun, the coffee mug can be shaped like a hockey skate, complete with a blade-shaped handle, so that the center can kickstart his day with a touch of hockey flair.
Matthew Knies: Matthew Knies is just 21-years-old. It’s about time he got his very own adult colouring book. This coloring book should be filled with comically intricate designs, featuring themes like how to do the laundry and a guide to going grocery shopping.
Nick Robertson: Nick Robertson can use one thing more than anything else, some job security. With it appearing as though Robertson is on the trading block, knowing his future would be extremely beneficial for peace of mind.
Noah Gregor: A puck shaped waffle maker could suit Noah Gregor because it would finally give him more touches with a puck. It’s something the 25-year-old could really use.
Ryan Reaves: Ryan Reaves is setting all the worst records in the NHL. All he really needs is to be on the ice when the Maple Leafs score a goal. Though he’s finally managed to score, it may just be the most lofty of all the potential gifts to give the players.
