Ya, I really liked Aaltonen's game. Will be a great depth call-up to have.

Aaltonen really should have made the team out of camp.....Moore played worse than both Fehr and Aaltonen. He should really be gone.

If Fehr and Leivo stay, they will only carry 7 dmen. Would love that to be Borgman but it might be Marincin.
Leivo, Marincin and Fehr next cuts. Liljegren to AHL probably.
Keep Rosen and Borgman up with the club they both deserve a spot.

No chance Leivo is cut. Also I bet Liljegren goes back to Sweden, otherwise why not assign him with everyone else this morning?
Why keep one of Borgman or Rosen to sit in the press box for weeks? If one of Borgman or Rosen are not in the lineup, send them to the marlies to play and develop. Personally, I'd rather have Polak be 7th d-man and waive Marincin. But I'd be fine with Marincin being 7th d-man though.

Cutting Leivo and Fehr leaves them with 12 forwards which ain't happening. Polak and Liljegren won't be on the roster which leaves one more cut.

Is there a chance they maybe want to see a little more of Liljegren? He played well in both of his pre-season games and was arguably one of the top to D in the last game (although against DET AHL roster). I really hope they aren't sending him back to Rogle, but I am a bit worried after seeing the list (Dermott) they just sent down. One would think that if it is between Rogle and the Marlies, that the Marlies would be most beneficial.

There's also the possibility that both are kept and they rotate the bottom pair instead of keeping one consistently in the press box. If one emerges as clearly the better fit, then you can send the other down to the Marlies at that point.

Polak is counted as one of the 26 players still in camp, so likely cuts Polak, Liljegren and Moore or Fehr (likely Fehr probably won't be claimed because of his 2 mill cap hit)

Leafs have to waive the players by noon today if they require them in order to be cut and to be sent down. So for players like Leivo, Marincin, Fehr, Moore, etc, if they aren't on waivers by noon today, they are likely here to stay barring a trade out of the team of course.
Liljegren will very likely be loaned to Sweden or at the very least assigned to the Marlies. Polak doesn't have a contract and doesn't require waivers or a release.
So the Leafs are really at 24 players, which means they have to send down a player by tomorrow. I'd probably bet it being Borgman, but it's possible there's a small injury which opens up a spot in the mean time. It's possible a trade is in the works as well but seems unlikely.

I wouldn't read much into it. They assigned Grundstrom to Sweden already. They could've done Liljegren at the same time. I truly do believe Liljegren is staying in North America this year. Rogle is dead last in the SHL and an absolute tire fire. They've only won 1 game (in OT I think), and they had to score 8 goals to get the win. They've allowed 24 goals in just 4 games. And scored just 3 in their losses.

It's likely not Moore or Fehr being cut, rosters have to be in by 5 PM tomorrow and while I think you can put a player on waivers and preemptively take him off your roster with the notion that if he clears he's in the AHL they would just put them on waivers today with the rest of the guys going on. The final 3 cuts are likely to be all D. Liljegren, probably Polak, likely not Marincin as he would be on waivers today if it was him. And the final cut 1 of the 2 Swedes.

Not surprising Altonen didnt make it. I thought he was real solid in camp, but I think the media hype is distorting our view of how he performed compared to Moore.
Moore is so much better on the PK and draws that for him to not make the roster would have been, as Babcock says "silly"
