I?ve been texting James Van Riemsdyk pretty often the last few weeks. We?ve been talking about how weird it?s going to be not playing together. He was my linemate for a long time in Toronto, and I owe him a lot for my success ? he?s a great friend. We?re both going to miss playing for this city. But we know this: You?re in good hands, Toronto. The next few years are going to be a lot of fun. Believe in Kyle Dubas and the talent you have. Auston, William and Mitch can do anything. Trust me, I saw them in practice every day, they?re special.
