Who's Next?
Morgan Rielly, the longest-serving Leaf, must be a part of any soccer team. He is a consistent participant in the team's pre-game soccer warmup. He must have picked up some skills after years of doing this.
Rielly would best serve the role of midfielder. He can roam all over the field and help wherever he is needed, offense or defense. It seems like the perfect fit.
Honorable Mention
They are now ex-Leafs, but Alex Kerfoot and Michael Bunting might have helped our fictional soccer team. Kerfoot has previously demonstrated some foot skills.
Bunting has been known to embellish on the ice surface to draw penalties. In hockey, it's frowned upon. In soccer, it's common practice.
The Canadian entry in the women's World Cup won't need to fear this collection of soccer talent, but maybe the Leafs' soccer team could challenge another NHL team's players for bragging rights.
