Jordan Schmaltz is a Toronto Maple Leaf. Crazy, right? Who would have ever thought this day would come; the prodigal son returning home to Toronto and fulfilling his destiny.
Wait, Schmaltz isn’t from Toronto? He’s not the prodigal son? And the reason for why no one thought this day would come is that they had no idea who Schmaltz was until the Maple Leafs traded Andreas Borgman to the St. Louis Blues for him last night?
Yeah, that sounds about right.
At the moment, Schmaltz has two distinct things going for him: Handedness (he shoots right) and a pre-existing relationship with new Leafs assistant coach, Dave Hakstol.
