Let&#8217;s get the Carter Ashton PEDs joke out of the way early by casting him as the ridiculously muscular Clayton Russell. Carter Ashton also seems kind hearted enough to always bring chicken nuggets to a party.

Less kind hearted is Frazer McLaren, who always seems to get joy from harming others. He&#8217;s our easy choice to replace Zack Shires.

Fair enough, he&#8217;s (thankfully) not a Leaf any more, but Mark Fraser&#8217;s upper cut/beard combo say Shawn Coleman.

Speaking of people who thankfully aren&#8217;t with the Leafs, Claude Loiselle bears a striking resemblance to cook Gregory Rose.

This one might take some explaining. The first explanation is that Phil Kessel is a big guy and probably likes pie. He also like Bozak. Boom, case closed.
The lengthier explanation involves a closer look at pie. Fundamentally pie is a second tier dessert. It&#8217;s not something you trot out if you really want to blow someone away, but it safely meets the standards of &#8220;here&#8217;s a dessert for you&#8221;. Pie isn&#8217;t your go to for big days. You shouldn&#8217;t have pie at weddings, birthdays, and the only time pie gets a chance to shine is at Thanksgiving, when you&#8217;ve already been blown away by the rest of the meal. Finally for pie to achieve it needs support. Pie needs ice cream, whipped cream, etc. to excel. Pie on it&#8217;s own can be disappointing. Bozak is pie.

Too Many Cooks, much like the Leafs need someone to save them from the madness. That responsibility falls on Smarf and Kessel, though my understanding is Smarf is much better with the media.
