Army, who weighs less and works more than in other recent camps, and Olmstead, noted for his heady aggressive play, have set the pace as expected with the desired effect on Mahovlich. Toronto’s other ’lines, however, continue to show gaping holes which could be offset only if Harris and Duff develop as expected. Harris, one of the league’s best playmakers, is still battling to develop an effective shot that would make him a key man in Toronto’s future.
