I'd be pretty surprised to see four Dmen graduate together.
All are waiver eligible next year. So unless you want one+ of them on waivers, they'll all have to come up.

I presume you'll see one of them on waivers.
Taking a stab at this:
Kapanen - Nylander - Brown
Soshnikov - Froese - Frattin
Leipsic - R. Rupert - Hyman
Leivo - Carrick - Panik
Bailey
Percy - Brennan
Holl - Lööv
Campbell - Valiev
Obviously Panik is a possibility in which case he'd take Frattin's spot, Frattin would move to 3rd, Hyman to 4th and Bailey will be subbed in, in typical AHL fashion. I'd like to see Skladnichenko, M. Rupert, Clapperton, Vail, Gauthier and Watling all get time as well. I think they'll go the Detroit/Babcock model of having bottom 6 guys play bottom 6 minutes, AHL or NHL. Guys like Leivo and Hyman (Who will most likely be on the Leafs' bottom 6 post-TDL) will play bottom 6 for the Marlies to get that system ingrained.
Very hot start, good to hear. Didn't expect this kind of production so soon.Dzierkals a goal and an assist tonight. 10 points in six games so far.
I'm not too happy how Loov is being handled. 2nd consecutive camp that he's looked ready for the next step, yet he's being held back by players like Marincin, Harrington, Robidas, and the likes.

Some Posters lump these guys together as if Marincin and Harrington were grizzled oldtimers like Robidas, holding back young blueliners like Percy and Loov.
By birth year:
1992, Marincin, Loov
1993, Harrington, Percy
They are all prospects of similar age. Two of them appear to have made the Leafs to start the year. That's not bad. And it isn't holding back youth.
Partly why Harrington is with the Leafs is that they want to show that they got something back in the Kessel trade. Like "Look and see! We didn't completely get nothing for him!"
Nonsense. I don't think Leafs management is petty enough to do that, nor stupid enough to think it would work.

Youth holding back youth. That's some youth crimes!
I thought that Loov looked good, but not amazing in the pre-season. And that's nothing to be concerned of. His development is doing very well and he'll be playing a ton this season with the Marlies. Would people be happy if he came up to the big club and was playing 12 minutes a night or was a healthy scratch?

I've got that sense too but maybe that's just because I preferred Loov and Percy to Harrington. I'll admit that I thought Harrington looked alright last night. I do think management carry some bias when it comes to their recent acquisitions regardless of whether the player traded was a star player or not. I think that's just a human nature to believe in your decisions until it's proven wrong over a significant trial. We'll see how this applies to Marincin who didn't play well at all.
It's always a possibility.
You can't be so naive to think that it couldn't happen too.
If that's the type of reasoning our management uses to decide the roster, we're absolutely ****ed, and its amazing these idiots(Shanahan, Lou, Babcock) ever lucked their way into success at the NHL level.

They have to coach up these veteran guys to be able to trade them for futures, Marlies allow the younger guys to be ready when this happens. Obviously you don't like PAIN.
Lol..dude take it easy and stop posting
Yea Loov or Percy should've made it I thought.
