Nothing is guaranteed as we all know with enforcers. But after being signed to a 3-year deal, the departure of Rupp and Lemaire's tendency to dress a tough line-up all point in favor of LeBlond being up with the Devils this season.

Lemaire will provide the best chance for LeBlond to stick with the Devs. The Crash Line w/ McKay and Peluso got plenty of ice time under Lemaire.

they got no heavy but lots of willing guys if things get nasty.
kaleta? mair? they are spot pickers. you will see kaleta turtle more than fighting. mair will barely fight and when he does it will be against guys he knows he will beat. stafford?? how many fighting majors did he have last season

Kind of hard to tell what Colton can or will do, I like the guy and the position he is in now compared to in NY and he will certainly be in a more unleashed mode under Burke but I honestly think that he is not all that after all - but time will tell I guess. I mean he will do well against guys like Thornton, Lucic, Neil, May etc but not really in a position to challenge the top notch boys just because he has more room to maneuverer in Toronto

Orr is going to love it in Toronto. The fans show the enforcers so much love and respect. When Belak scored his first goal in a hundred and some odd games the Air Canada Centre went NUTS. I've never heard them chant so loud. Or with his fight against Janssen, people were chanting his name throughout union station (which is the subway stop to the ACC for people who don't know). Don't get me wrong, I think Belak is the man and he's my favourite enforcer right now, but he had a year where he wasn't as entertaining as he could of been.

Now Orr, well Orr has that mean streak and is entertaining as hell. Give him 4 or 5 fights and the fans will fall in love all over again.

Well he's already beaten belak, brash, Goddard, fritz so I think he has already challenged the top notch boys

Think about it this way, they didn't want to pay Orr enough to play, and resigned Brashear who costs more.
Unless Orr wanted to leave New York, then he'd wanna get back at his old team.

watch for it, Orr vs Brash first time NYR-TOR play.
Damn right something's gonna happen, Orr is another year closer to his prime while Brashear is yet another year in decline, look for the career series to chalk up a few for Colton, he hits him clean like Belak did?? Brashear might have to be carried off.

Never.

But because he wasn't pounded into the ice like every other fight with Brash, Rag fans gave him the nod.

The point Bundy is making is that he CAN hang with the best of em. Hang doesn't mean win always. Who actually disagrees Orr can't hang with the "top notch" heavys?
