Perhaps the most illuminating and informative piece to stem from the announcement came by way of The Athletic’s Justin Bourne.
Bourne, who served as the Toronto Marlies’ video coach until 2017, possess a unique inside perspective on both the team and, by extension, their recently-promoted GM.
Now, I am by no means anywhere near Bourne’s level. Not in a professional sense, and certainly not in a talent sense either. In fact, I’d assert that Bourne is maybe the best sports writer currently operating within the Toronto hockey bubble.
Given his past employment history, along with an ingrained talent as a writer, his insight is unmatched.
