SO 2 the Dixie Chicks <| sep |> Well since you ' re on an American site , there ' s gonna be MLS goals and news posted . It ' s no different than the premier league other than that the premier league is posted way , way more than MLS . Maybe just deal with it and don ' t be annoying ? <| sep |> Granted , our roster has some rookies . But how many of them came straight out of junior ? One . Mitch Marner , who ' s an exception to the Leafs current pattern and put up a relatively unprecedented season in junior . Matthews was the first overall pick and played Swiss A . Nylander played in a season and a half in the SHL and a season in the AHL . Hyman is 24 , played 4 years in the Big 10 , and then a year in the AHL . Zaitsev is 25 and played 7 years in the KHL . Brown basically did what Jeremy is doing and played 2 years in the AHL . Soshnikov played 2 seasons in the KHL and one in the AHL . Not a rookie but Kadri put up elite OHL numbers in his overage and played a season and a half in the AHL . Meanwhile , arguments could be made that Leipsic , Kapannen , Valiev , and maybe even Nielsen are ready for the show but management brought in Polak , Smith , Hunwick , etc . to play until they were absolutely certain these guys were ready .
