What Dreams Are Made Of

Former New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks’ forward Brandon Prust was offered a professional tryout contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs yesterday.

“Growing up a Leafs fan, I know that’s kind of where my heart is. I’ve always wanted to play for the Leafs. I figure this will be a great opportunity for me.”
