Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Montreal vs Ottawa Rookie Tournament Thread

[Da Cool Rula]

Add cohersing refs to Dermots repertoire. Absolute stud

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Great penalty drawn. Dermott is fantastic

 

[Cor]

I don't think itwould be Nielsen either. I was thinking Campbell or loVerde type player

Rosen-Borgman
Campbell-Liljegren
Nielsen-LoVerde

??

 

[Walshy7]

I don't think itwould be Nielsen either. I was thinking Campbell or loVerde type player

yeah a vet makes sense, loverde is RHD though so Campbell it would have to be

 

[Walshy7]

Rosen-Borgman
Campbell-Liljegren
Nielsen-LoVerde

??

not bad, i believe Rosen is the swede that plays RH side out of those 2 though

 

[A4T1L6]

what is with those ugly black arms on the sens sweaters

 

[Kiwi]

I don't think itwould be Nielsen either. I was thinking Campbell or loVerde type player

LoVerde is a RD I think so those two together could be an issue

Campbell seems like a reasonable option
Valiev would be decent if he can sort himself out a bit

 

[saltming]

Rosen-Borgman
Campbell-Liljegren
Nielsen-LoVerde

??

That would be a good start imo
I guess it would depend on how the rosen borgman duo take to the smaller ice.
Also I would think Holl will play. He was solid paired with dermott down the stretch last year.
Maybe have loVerde as the 7 if the swedes don't struggle?

 

[LeafChief]

Rosen-Borgman
Campbell-Liljegren
Nielsen-LoVerde

Didn't Campbell sign with Arizona?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

it was 3-0

 

[Walshy7]

Didn't Campbell sign with Arizona?

he did, i didnt even know that happened haha. I guess marlies will be looking for a new C then

 

[Cor]

Didn't Campbell sign with Arizona?

You're 100% right.

That's Valiev's spot then

 

[Walshy7]

You're 100% right.

That's Valiev's spot then

ive been told numerous times Valiev prefers playing RH side

 

[Cor]

Rosen-Borgman
Campbell-Liljegren
Nielsen-LoVerde

I forgot about Justin Holl too, damnit

Valiev could be but he had such an up and down season last year I'm hesitant to put him with a rookie, unless Liljegren lights it up from the start.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

ive been told numerous times Valiev prefers playing RH side

Yup, probably every time by me

I think I've started sounding annoyed

 

[saltming]

Didn't Campbell sign with Arizona?

Oh ya! Haha

 

[Walshy7]

LoVerde is 100% an AHL player (no ECHL) we have too many dman especially if dermott stays with the marlies. Maybe Liljegren isnt staying with the marlies?

 

[Walshy7]

didnt want to name names

 

[Morgs]

Bracco and Liljegren are magic on the PP.

As of right now, you are looking at 2 of Rosen/Borgman/Dermott and Nielsen on the left side (along with any depth options they have, namely Cleland right now).

Right side you have LoVerde, Holl, Valiev, Paliotta (depth), Gudbranson (depth likely in the ECHL), and potentially Liljegren.

Ahl journeymen will suffer to make space for Lil Tim if te team wants him playing here.

Tima robbed!

Bracco has barely been noticeable

yeah i meant right side maybe paliotta is pure echl and
liljegren plus the other 3 will be the right side options. I thought the coach of rogle said liljegren isnt going back? so that would mean he is staying with the marlies

LoVerde is treated the same as Campbell. He's not going to be sitting unless he's injured or needs a break. Holl is more likely to sit, and that's not going to happen often either.

So it would be Valiev or Liljegren, and considering we could put Liljegren over in Europe, that's where I'd expect him to be unless we trade Valiev before the start of the season.
