Well, I hope.

I hope.

It's the same kind of reception Jonathan Tate's got in Chicago.

I mean, he has contributed quite an awful lot to the Maple Leafs.

I mean, I'm sure the playoffs haven't gone that good, but for 82 games every year, he's up there with 90-plus points, exciting player.

I remember when...

The first game that I coached against him, he had like six breakaways.

He didn't score any, but he gets open.

I thought he was a superstar from day one.

I hope the Leafs appreciate him like that or the Toronto people appreciate him like that and not the guy that was used as a scapegoat or was warranted for bad playoff runs.

He was a great Toronto Maple Leaf.

I hope he gets the reward that the Toronto Maple Leaf fans can give him.

And they're good at it when they want to be.

Yeah, that would be uncomfortable.

That's why I'm hoping Toronto doesn't boo.

Like, I mean, don't you think he was a great player for 10 years here or nine years?

I think he deserves more than booing.

And you know what?

I don't think anybody really knows whether he wanted to leave or he outpriced himself or what he was used as.

Somebody that, well, we have to change the core four and he's the one that's got to go type thing.
