Rip Kirby: 2012 round 1 #20 overall by Philadelphia Flyers "A pretty all-round player with good leadership abilities. Plays a strong two-way game and reads the game exceptionally well. Not overly flashy, but can put up some points on the board. Good penalty killer and skater. Likes to play the body."
mattias - 74: Fattar inte hur Toronto, som behöver vinnarskallar mer än något annat lag (utom möjligtvis Oilers), ska bli starkare av att ta in en kille som spenderar sina säsonger med att glida runt och invänta DJ-säsongen på sommaren. Är det något Toronto behöver är det en sån som Marchand.
