Ryerson Leenders: Future Star or Flash in the Pan?

Leenders grabs OHL Goalie of the Week honors after a stellar 3-0 run. Is this a sign of things to come or just a hot streak for the young Sabres prospect? He boasts a .931 save percentage for the week, a significant jump from his season average. This begs the question: can he maintain this level of play consistently? The Bulldogs clearly invested heavily in acquiring him, giving up eight draft picks. Was this a smart gamble or an overpayment? Weigh in with your thoughts. Is Leenders the real deal or are we getting ahead of ourselves? His international gold medals certainly suggest potential, but how does that translate to OHL and eventually NHL success? What are your realistic expectations for Leenders this season and beyond? Let the debate begin!
