Many have assumed Toffoli can take over the role of the newly departed Williams. Is he up to the task?
As Los Angeles Kings fans come to grips with the idea of LA taking the ice without Justin Williams for the first time in seven seasons, many are wondering what LA is losing in the 33 year old winger who was getting pushed down the depth chart. However, a common refrain of fans and bloggers alike has been an optimistic one: "Toffoli is the next Williams." This thought process has even been attributed to individuals inside the Kings' front office, and Williams himself fed the talk of their similarities last season.
