Conor Timmins and Connor Dewar Just Burned the Toronto Maple Leafs

Conor Timmins and Connor Dewar weren't exactly lighting the world on fire with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It's why they were so easy to cut loose at the trade deadline as the team was desperately looking for a bit of extra cap space to bring in Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo.

Upon arriving in Pittsburgh, both Timmins and Dewar have been immediate additions to the lineup and as it turns out, the Penguins are giving them an opportunity to succeed.

Last night, Dewar and Timmins actually showed out for the Penguins as they each scored a goal. These two scoring in the same game is pretty rare and if you're a Leafs fan, you can't help but feel slighted.

The craziest part about all of this is the fact that it was Dewar's first goal of the entire season, which just shows you his lack of production.

One has to wonder if this success is going to continue for guys like Timmins and Dewar.

After all, they are fringe NHL guys who are always going to be questionable as it pertains to their teams' nightly lineups.

However, as general hockey fans, you cannot help but be excited about their success and potential future in Pittsburgh.

At the end of the day, Kyle Dubas did us a favor with that move, and it ultimately worked out for all of the parties involved.

Besides, the Leafs are on their way to the playoffs while the Penguins continue to be in purgatory.
