I think Leah is acceptable. Where I see her value is the fact that I have some female friends that honestly appreciate women on the panel that hold their own, and are simply "part of the group." So that's good.
Love Strombo on the main panel. Probably the best thing to happen to Sportsnet is getting someone who is such an experienced host and interviewer to guide the conversation. Things are a lot less wooden and a lot less stumbling when he's around. Friedman is gold, of course. Hrudey is a fave. Stock brings good passion.
Kyprios is more often than not kind of painful to listen to. Just generally bothersome, and he looks like he's a flex away from hulking out of his suit at any moment.
All that said, TSN really has some fantastic personalities that I hope make the switch some day. Their female roster is especially strong. Tons of top people with a wealth of knowledge and charisma.
