Of the 20 players who dressed for the Kings on the night
of their second Stanley Cup celebration earlier this
month, 11 were drafted and developed by the organization.
borgetti-mexico-jersey/">Jared Borgetti Jersey .
There were first round picks like Drew Doughty, Anze
Kopitar, Dustin Brown and Tanner Pearson, second round
selections like Tyler Toffoli and Kyle Clifford, a steal
in the third in Jonathan Quick and fourth rounders like
Dwight King and the biggest playoff hero of them all,
Alec Martinez. And while L.A. would require and benefit
from upgrades via trade – Jeff Carter, Marian Gaborik,
Mike Richards most prominently – the foundations of
their success are rooted in their fruitful draft and
development scheme. The Leafs, absent from the playoffs
for eight of the past nine seasons and long-starved of
consistent homegrown talent, are scratching and clawing
to try to get to that point (someday). Earlier this week,
Dave Morrison, Torontos director of amateur scouting,
detailed a draft process that appears to be slowly moving
in the right direction. Development is the other and
usually forgotten side of the coin. Spurring that effort
for the Leafs is Jim Hughes, who spoke with TSN.ca about
the challenges and trials of development and what the
organization is doing to improve the process. SIEGEL:
Whats the process when a player gets drafted by the
organization? Whats that process like of taking him as a
teenager and trying to get him to the NHL? How do you do
that? HUGHES: Usually year one, we allow the kid to do
his thing. We meet the coaches. We make sure the kids in
good shape [and] hes in a good spot and we usually dont
press their buttons. We dont have a sense of urgency with
a kid at an early stage, but as he develops into year
two, into year three, we turn the heat up, we turn the
urgency up. A guy like Freddy Gauthier for instance; last
year, we let him work through some stuff. We give him the
details of what he needs to do to be successful in terms
of making the World Junior team. We give him some bullet
point details in terms of being physical, stopping on
loose pucks, blocking shots, winning faceoffs, playing
with some urgency. We give him some details in terms of
what he needs to do in year one. In year two, our demands
will be a lot greater. Well be pressing the button a
little bit harder. Well be trying to push him up the
mountain, challenging him, both mentally and physically.
We try to expedite the process, all the while knowing
that theres got to be some patience in the mix as well.
SIEGEL: Is that a constant conversation that youre having
with him? HUGHES: Sometimes its a weekly, sometimes it
might be monthly, sometimes its when its necessary,
sometimes we stay out of their way. If the kids in a good
spot [and] the coaches are delighted with the player we
might stay out of their way a little bit. If the coach
says [the prospect] needs a kick in the ass and hes doing
just enough to get by in practice then we might step in
and poke him a little bit and poke him a little bit. All
were doing is were a support to the coaching staff; were
a support to the management team. If the kids playing in
U.S. college hockey, or the kids playing in the Quebec
league, were just there for support, pretty much
providing the same message that his staff is providing
and if we have to poke him we will. SIEGEL: I wanted to
ask you about that process with the prospects team. How
does the coordination work? What if you have a prospect
in a situation that you dont deem to be advantageous?
Lets say for two weeks hes not getting any power-play
time or something along those lines. How do you work with
the teams to put the prospect in a position to succeed?
HUGHES: Well, well get in early and eyeball the coach and
find out what his opinions were of the player, find out
what the plan is, what the process is with the player,
where hes going to start; he might start as a third-line
left wing and then the coach says hell work his way into
a second-line position in year two. They usually have a
plan and a method to the madness. In a lot of ways we put
the onus and responsibility back on the player. For
instance, Ive had a player say to me well, the coach
doesnt like me and before he can get the whole sentence
out I stop him in his tracks and I say the coach wants to
win and if the coach thinks that you can help him win the
coach will play you. So we always challenge the kid to
have a great first shift. Why? Because hell give you a
second one. Have a great second shift, hell give you a
third one. Because thats the way life works. They have to
earn the right and theyve got to compete for their job
and theyve got to battle. So usually we dont go to the
staff, well go back to the player. Well go back to the
player and put it on the players shoulders because again,
its about winning and if the coach thinks that you can
contribute and help him win then he will play you. And
thats sort of the mission statement that we usually use
with these kids. Now, if theres obviously an issue down
the road and weve got to talk to the coaching staff and
its not a right mix or its not a right match then well
deal with that down the road. But usually we can talk
these things out with the player. SIEGEL: How quickly do
you understand what type of personality that you have as
far as some guys respond to a kick in the ass, some guys
need to be coddled; is that something that you can pick
up on year one as to how to interact with the player to
get him to where he needs to be? HUGHES: Yeah, thats a
good question. I think what we do is we try to get to
know the personality, try to get to know the person, find
out if hes approachable, find out if hes a little bit
distant and how we can warm up to him and sort of present
our messages politely. And then at some point it might be
a very direct, very harsh message. Theres different ways,
depending on the kid and basically where hes at in the
process. But I like to believe that we tell the kid the
truth – the good, the bad and the ugly. The only way
were going to make forward progress is by giving them the
information, telling them the truth. This is what youre
doing great. This is what your skill-sets are. This is
what you need to improve on. And basically be really
honest with them in terms of the dos and the donts and
what we like and basically what needs to be tweaked and
what needs to be changed. SIEGEL: But is there an added
element in Toronto? I wanted to ask you specifically in
the case of Nazem. Nazem comes up, theres all this hype;
its Toronto at its finest. How do you navigate through
those waters when theres so many external factors outside
of your control pulling the kid in different directions?
HUGHES: Nazem was more patience. And its almost a trial
by error. Its almost one step forward, maybe one step
back, two steps forward and it was a process of two,
three years. It was a maturity thing. It wasnt a lack of
passion. It wasnt a youve got to work on your skill-sets.
It wasnt about hey, does Nazem love the game? We already
knew that. That was more of the personality and just
talking him through things and trying to nurture him and
trying to get him to see things maybe differently than
the way hes living or doing on the ice. That was a
tedious one. Some guys move up the ladder a little bit
faster. A guy like Josh Leivo we drafted at 178 pounds
and hes a dog on the bone. And we said son, youve got an
NHL stick, youve got soft hands, youve got an NHL brain,
but youre weak as [expletive]. And he went to work. He
got in the MCC and he went from 178 [pounds] to 198
[pounds] and hes chiseled and strong. And he did that
work. He did the work. Hes responsible for the work. We
just gave him the information and said this is whats in
front of you and this is what you need to do and he did
it. SIEGEL: You mentioned patience; how do you balance
that with the different personalities, like not looking
at one guy and saying why arent you getting there faster
like this other guy? HUGHES: I can give you an example of
a guy thats got a workload thats intense and hes got a
passion level thats intense is Connor Brown. I just spoke
to him earlier today. His weight is moving in the right
direction. He was with [strength coach Anthony] Belza
this morning, him and five other players were at the MCC
this morning. Hes putting weight on and its man-strength
that we call it and its just going to take time. This
doesnt happen overnight. So hes got the workload, hes got
the passion, hes got the dedication, the desire, but if
the man-strength is going to come its going to come when
hes 21, 22. Hes a late bloomer and in a lot of ways weve
just got to understand that this kid is doing everything
in his power. Hes eating five meals a day. Hes eating the
right foods. He goes to bed at night. Hes got a good
lifestyle. Hes got good habits. And we just need to know
that hes moving in the right direction and its just going
to take a little bit of time. Its going to take some
time, but we know that the process is moving in the right
direction. Hes probably a perfect example of a kid that I
dont think we can speed it up anymore. Its human nature.
Hes going from a skinny, scrawny kid to becoming a man.
SIEGEL: And hes part of a group of prospects that you
have that look like theyre really moving in the right
direction. Youve been in the job now five years; is there
something that youve learned about it – maybe watching
other teams or doing it yourself – as to how to make
that process of development work? HUGHES: I think some of
it is trial by error. We tweak things. But weve always
been brutally honest with the kids – good, bad and ugly.
Weve been positive with the kids. Weve been direct with
them in terms of they need to inspire and they need to
empower themselves. We go after the mind just as much as
we go after the physical part of it. The brain muscle
sometimes is neglected. So we talk about the mindset, we
talk about the passion and loving the game and empowering
yourself. Dont wait for the coach to empower you; you
empower yourself. You treat yourself like its your own
business. You run it like its your own business. You run
it like its your own business. And you make it what you
want it to be. We try to stimulate them from an
intellectual standpoint, just as much as we do it from a
physical standpoint. And weve got a great team of people
that are involved with this process. We have Belza and
[skating coach] Barbara [Underhill]; they instantly made
the Greg McKeggs better. Greg McKegg needed to work on
his skating so hes with Belza working on the physical
side of things and then he gets out with Barbara and
works on the mechanical side of things. So youre running
it up the ladder side by side and between the two all of
sudden we dont really talk about Greg McKeggs skating
anymore because weve got the people in place that are
doing their jobs and making this thing work. Then weve
got Bobby Carpenter and weve got Steve Staios that are in
the player development department as well. We all have
our own style and yet were all saying the same things. We
talk to him from a mental standpoint. We talk to him
about a physical standpoint. Were here to nurture them,
teach them and grow them. And again, some guys are more
serious about it than others and thats basically what
separates the junior players and the AHL players from the
guys that eventually become NHL players. SIEGEL: I think
the mental side is interesting and it ties in with what I
want to ask you next. You look at someone like Carter
Ashton; you watch him with the Marlies and hes dominant
at times. And then when he comes up to the NHL and he
looks like hes trying to find his way a little bit more.
How do you take a player whos right on the cusp and get
them into the NHL? HUGHES: More touches; exposure to the
power-play; playing with high-end players at the American
League level which is going to slow his brain down when
he has the puck. Everything doesnt have to be a mad race;
have some puck poise. And when youre playing with a
Spencer Abbott or you play him with a Peter Holland, they
possess it and they want to give it and they want to go.
So naturally when you put Carter with [one of those guys]
then hes going to get the touches and hes got to be
creative because they want to be creative. Its not a
dump-and-chase, get it out, get it in; theyre forced to
make plays. So just that experience and having that puck-
time is part of the maturation for Carter in terms of
moving himself from an American League player to a
National League player. Hes probably stuck between the
two leagues right now because hes got some really good
qualities; he cares about his teammates; hes physical; he
can skate; he can get up and down the rink; hes got a
high-compete load. And hes just got to find that balance
of not losing the aggressiveness, but learning how to
slow it down when he has the puck a little bit. Its
training your mind, slowing it down in your brain is
basically that attachment that hes learning to do right
now. Because he made some beautiful plays at the American
League level this year, now hes just got to take it and
bring it into the National League with him. SIEGEL: More
generally speaking, do you think you have a system in
place now where you can take more of these prospects and
get them to the NHL? How do you take the development
system that you have and keep making it better to get
more of these guys to that point? HUGHES: Thats where
[Steve Spott], [Derek King], [Gord Dineen], thats where
they come in. Stuart Percy is a great example of playing
20 minutes per night, playing in all situations –
playing on the power-play, playing on the penalty kill –
playing in almost 20 playoff games and that experience is
invaluable; youve got to earn the right to play in those
games. And so our American League coaches are giving
these guys every opportunity to earn the right to win
positions and to be on the ice in critical situations.
Stuarts a perfect example of that. [Petter] Granberg was
a big piece of that puzzle as well. Were talking about
the player development and nurturing them through their
junior careers or college careers and then we work with
them through the summers and then Spotter and his crew
grab them in the winter and expose them to situations and
get them the quality minutes in the right situations. And
again, thats how you expedite the process and thats how
were trying to get as many guys to graduate from the
American League to the NHL. Some need more time than
others, but its a multitude of people all pulling rope
the same way and thats sort of the way weve been
operating over the past [few] years. SIEGEL: Can you feel
that youve got some kids that might be able to make that
step, if not the step next year to the Marlies? HUGHES: I
think so. Youve got [Matt] Finn coming and youve got
Brown and youve got Tommy Nilsson coming and weve got
[Andreas] Johnson doing a good job over in Sweden. Weve
got Percy coming. Weve got Granberg thats ready. Weve got
a lot of guys pushing so its really creating a good,
competitive environment. And the cream will rise to the
top. These guys will work as hard at their trade to get
to that highest level.

Brazil and having training partners such as fellow UFC
stand outs Fabio Maldonado and Daniel Sarafian, the 32-

encounter.TORONTO -- Leafs sniper Phil Kessel found his
scoring touch and the Anaheim Ducks lost their composure
Tuesday night. Riding Kessels three-goal performance,
Toronto recovered from a poor start to defeat Anaheim 4-2
and deny the Ducks a club-record eighth straight win. It
was a Jekyll and Hyde performance for the Leafs, who were
booed off the ice after a woeful first period that saw
them outplayed, outshot 6-2 and outscored 1-0. Kessel
struck twice and Toronto scored three unanswered goals in
the second period to climb out of a 2-0 deficit. "The
first period we were awful tight," said Toronto coach
Randy Carlyle. "We couldnt execute a 20-foot pass if the
guy was wide-open ... We were tripping over one another
the first period." Toronto got its forecheck going and
Kessel started the comeback with a power-play goal at
7:44 of the second period. The Ducks began to unwind and
the Leafs led 3-2 going into the third. Anaheim coach
Bruce Boudreau was left lamenting the sudden turnaround.
"We played really good for the first 30 minutes of the
game. I mean, as good as we can play," he said. "But I
think the big thing is we just lost our composure for 10
minutes. And weve got to get it back. Well get it back in
practice (Wednesday). "Nobody likes losing. Especially in
this building. But well get out of it." Captain Dion
Phaneuf also scored for the Leafs (7-3-0) before an Air
Canada Centre crowd of 19,408. James van Riemsdyk, who
played provider to Kessel most of the night, had a chance
to make it 5-2 in the third period but hit the goalpost
with a backhand on a penalty shot after being interfered
with on a breakaway. Kessel, whose offence had been
sporadic this season, upped his goal total to five with
the hat trick. The Leafs winger had a chance to go for a
fourth late in the game but chose to pass it to linemate
Tyler Bozak, who failed to convert. The Leafs star came
into the game with two goals on 36 shots. He left with
five on 40. Nick Bonino and Mathieu Perreault scored for
Anaheim (7-2-0). The win snapped a two-game losing streak
for the Leafs and Carlyle, who led the Ducks to the
Stanley Cup in 2007 before being fired in 2011. Tuesdays
game was the first stop on a season-long eight-game road
trip for the Ducks, a journey that will cover 15 days and
13,215 kilometres. Anaheim outshot Toronto 25-23. Shots
have been hard to come by for the Leafs, who were outshot
115-60 in their three previous games. Toronto has been
outshot in eight of 10 games this season, including its
last seven outings. Neither team showed much in a loose
first period that saw Toronto register its first shot 27
seconds in and then not put another on Jonas Hiller until
an easy long-range shot from defenceman Paul Ranger with
2:56 left in the period. Thirty-four seconds later,
Bonino tapped in a pass from Patrick Maroon on a three-
on-one after Leafs defenceman Cody Franson collided with
teammate Troy Bodie up ice. It was Boniinos fourth of the
year.
lozano-mexico-jersey/">Hirving Lozano Jersey.
Carlyles advice to his tense team after the first period
was to relax and "go play." Still stuck on two shots,
Toronto went down 2-0 at 1:59 of the second period after
Perreault was allowed to come out from behind the goal
and roof a wrist shot past Jonathan Bernier for his
fourth of the year. Toronto did not manage a third shot
until 5:23 of the second period, a snap shot by Jay
McClement that produced a fine glove save from the
underemployed Hiller. The Ducks goalie then stopped Mason
Raymond on a two-on-one as the Leafs managed to move the
shot clock again. Phaneuf tried to start something at the
other end, getting the crowd going by sending Kyle
Palmieri flying with a bodycheck. The Leafs finally
scored in the second period with Kessel tucking in the
puck on the power play after van Riemsdyk stretched to
pass a rebound over to his unmarked linemate for his
third goal. Phaneuf then tied it up at 9:03, cruising in
from the blue-line to bang home a rebound for his second
of the season. The dazed Ducks called a timeout to
regroup. Toronto had to survive an 87-second five-on-
three power play later in the period. Kessel scored again
after Ranger dispossessed a Duck and sent his winger off
on a two-on-one with van Riemsdyk. Kessel held onto the
puck and beat Hiller at 16:09 for a 3-2 lead and his
fourth goal of the campaign. The shot count was tied 12-
12 after two periods with Bernier making some timely
stops in the third. Kessel made it 4-2 at 8:11 of the
third, effortlessly converting a two-on-one with van
Riemsdyk. "JVR made two great passes to me and I was
fortunate enough to bury both of them," Kessel, who
signed an eight-year, US$64-million contract extension
earlier this month, said in a pithy assessment of his
evening. "It was a good night," he concluded. Phaneuf was
more effusive. "Those were some serious goal-scorer
goals," said an admiring skipper. "He didnt have a lot of
room on two out of the three and he found away to put the
puck in the net. Thats what he does, thats why hes one of
the top players in the league. "Its a huge game by him
for our team." It was the Ducks first defeat since a
season-opening 6-1 loss in Colorado. Anaheim arrived in
Toronto on a seven-game win streak, tied for the longest
in club history (set previously between Feb. 20 and March
7, 1999). The loss dropped the Ducks record at Air Canada
Centre to 3-12-4 and Hillers career mark against the
Leafs to 0-4-0. The last time the two clubs met, a 5-2
Toronto win at the Honda Center on Nov. 27, 2011, Carlyle
was behind the Ducks bench. He was fired three days later
and replaced by Boudreau. NOTES -- Steve Yzerman and
Peter Chiarelli of the Canadian Olympic team braintrust
took in the game ... Anaheim continues its road trip on
Thursday in Montreal and Friday in Ottawa ... The Leafs
will finally get forward David Clarkson back from his 10-
game suspension on Friday in Columbus.
