Former Leaf Already Making Enemies on His New Team
A former Maple Leaf has already started fighting with his new teammates making his departure from Toronto look all the better.
Michael Bunting was always known for being a pest in Toronto. He consistently drew penalties but also had a bit of a knack for taking them as well. He left Toronto last offseason in favor of signing a sizeable 3-year x $4.5 million contract.
It was reported today that Bunting is already making enemies in Carolina:
Bunting and Lemieux having a not-so-pleasant exchange for the second time in camp. Burns intervenes.
The two perpetrators in question are Bunting and Brendan Lemieux, a player who is also a pest.
The two clearly have a history and if they cannot gel well together, Carolina may be forced to move on from one of them, probably Lemieux, to keep the peace in the locker room.
Now, only time will tell if the two are able to mesh in Carolina or if they will ruin the locker room chemistry destroying any chance at Carolina winning a cup.
