Kaberle was a late-pick, yes, but he was a legitimate top-4 offensive defenseman from the minute he first stepped on to NHL ice at 20 years of age. So not the best comparison for Thrun.

Prominent player on the last true clutch Leaf playoff team (2002) that unfortunately just got too injured and ran out of gas. Voted the 22nd Most Hated Team All-Time by SI in 2010:

There was something "special" about this team, just like there is something "special" about a coming tax audit. You live to tell about it, but it won't be pleasant. These Maple Leafs were more of a vocal than a vicious team, like the neighbor's noxious terrier that doesn't bite. (Often.) Indeed, one reason the Leafs were reviled -- beyond coach Pat Quinn's constant haranguing of the refs, a diver like Darcy Tucker, a stick man like Shayne Corson and an unabashed brawler like Tie Domi -- was that they were viewed as something of a pet. The Leafs were loathed, in part, because of location. They were the darlings of media coverage because Toronto is the center of the hockey universe. And with Toronto's soupçon of on-ice success during the era, Hockey Night in Canada essentially transformed itself into the parish bulletin of the First Church of Leafs Nation. Additionally, the league's hockey operations department was located in the office building attached to the Air Canada Centre, which led to the theory that Toronto received preferential treatment from referees. While there was no proof, it didn't change the perception. Feared like the Broad Street Bullies? No. Hated? The way an off-key singer despises Simon Cowell. -- Michael Farber

If you look at the guys Leafs added to be dressing room leaders since say the Marleau signing it's fucking embarrassing. Selfish asshats who have never won anything.
I made the argument 2 years ago Reaves immediately being the voice for the Leafs after his signing was a terrible look. He was a horrible player who couldn't shutup.
 
Like Reaves is the type of guy that would review every movie based on how woke it us. Wokeism would be his #1 criteria of what makes a movie good or bad. Like this douchefuck

Meanwhile, Habs have understandably yet to replace the legendary Edmundson in the booth

“The Habs don't have an official DJ for their locker room. Players take turns playing music”
