King has had an off-year, aside from his fight with Shelley. Rosie is better off against him.

I personally think Erskine would comfortably beat Rosehill if he's on his game. This is a guy that fights wildly like it's an all out war again and has busted up guys like Lucic in the past. Erskine was beaten and concussed badly by Eric Godard back when the latter was with Calgary. That's one of the main reasons Erskine didn't fight much or at all for a long time. He seems to have thrown caution to the wind lately, where career-ending head injuries are concerned, so he's no slouch when it comes to fighting any more...

Erskine is a beast, he doesn't fight much but when he does they're always fantastic!
I don't see Rosehill doing well against King or Erskine to be hounest, but he's willing and great on the forecheck and as a Leafs fan thats what counts for me.

Good to see the Leafs wont go enforcerless..

Could see a few nice hits and spirited bouts. He doesn't have to much coming up for opponents though.

It sucks balls that Orr is out but I love how the Leafs value an enforcer and even though they have a middleweight like Mike Brown in the lineup, that isn't enough, and they immediately call up 2nd tier heavyweight Jay Rosehill

I wonder how long before (if ever) Richard Greenop surpasses Rosehill as the #2 guy in the Toronto system

I think 'if ever' is the operative term. Greenop has done nothing this year. He's looked terrible with the gloves on and off. It doesn't say much for him when the Marlies dress two defenseman on the wings on the 4th line and he's not playing. I hope I'm wrong but I think we'll see Devane in the NHL before Greenop.

I could see Rosehill going with Bodie or Harrison next week. But that's about it. I'm glad he's been recalled

I'd rather wait for Devane than wait for Greenop.

It was surprise when i remember 2 Rosehills scraps by this season.
He has a draw with Godard and got pounded clearly by Thornton.
Good player, tough as hell.
