[Field of Dreams]

JVR - Kadri - Nylander
Komorov - Bozak - Marner
Rychel - Matthews - PAP
Hyman – Laich – Brown

Rielly – Zaitsev
Gardiner – Corrado
Marincin – Hunwick

Andersen
Bernier

 

[Banic]

A/p Lou's end of season statement, there will be a lot of roster turn over.

I won't bother making a line up until after July 1 as we have no clue who we may take or the outcome of our many RFA's as well as potential trade bait.

 

[LeafChief]

Soshnikov - Kadri - Komarov
JVR - Matthews - Nylander
Rychel - Bozak - Marner
Hyman - Laich - Greening/Holland

Rielly - Marincin
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Hunwick - Carrick
Corrado/Percy

Andersen
Bernier

Not sure how the Leafs get rid of Michalek and Lupul. LTIR and back to Europe?

 

[PuckMagi]

Soshnikov - Kadri - Komorov
JVR - Bozak - Leivo
Nylander - Matthews - Marner
Rychel - Holland - Hyman

Marincin - Rielly
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Hunwick - Carrick

Anderson
Bernier

 

[SprDaVE]

What happened to Michalek and Greening, did they just decide to retire?

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Hard to predict. We will see how the week unfolds leading to July 1st. Then perhaps we will have a better understanding in terms of which players to slot in.

 

[LeafChief]

What happened to Michalek and Greening, did they just decide to retire?

I listed both of them.

 

[Magic Man]

JVR - Stamkos - Marner
Nylander - Matthews - Komarov
Holland - Kadri - Brown
Rychel - Laich - Hyman
ex. Greening

Rielly - Zaitsev
Gardiner - Marincin
Hunwick - Carrick
ex. Corrado

Andersen
Bernier

I think the Leafs will still move Bozak and Michalek. If they find a way to make more cap room, other than the moves I've listed I think they could be players in the Radulov and Demers sweepstakes.

 

[Rare Jewel]

What happened to Michalek and Greening, did they just decide to retire?

Robidas Island.


But we need some vets, Greening was pretty decent so I'd keep him.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Komarov Kadri Nylander
JVR Bozak Marner
Michalek Matthews Brown
Rychel Laich Hyman
Lupul,Greening

Hunwick Rielly
Gardiner Zaitsev
Marincin Carrick

[Conan]

The MNM line

 

[DJIncognito]

JVR-Stamkos/Bozak-Nylander
Komorov-Kadri-Soshnikov
Rychel-Matthews-Marner
Lupul-Bozak/Holland-Michalek
Laich, Greening


Rielly-Carrick
Gardiner-Hunwick
Marincin-Zaitsev
Percy

Anderson
Bernier

Hopefully Stamkos is signed - if not there's still Bozak and if he's traded - Holland.

Would try to trade Bernier and see what the market is for Bozak or any of the non-core veterans: Lupul, Michalek, Laich - retain at the deadline if needed if we're a seller

 

[hamzarocks]

got to find a way to trade bozak, get rid of michalek, and holland, and get rid of bernier. I want stamkos up at upto 10 million.

 

[Defense]

The MNM line

Lots of potential elite skill right there!

 

[Mikeyg]

I think jvr/leivo/holland are all gone this summer for some D help.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Michalek-Kadri-Komarov
Van Riemsdyk/Other-Nylander-Parenteau/Other
Greening-Matthews-Marner
Laich-Froese-Hyman
S.Carrick

Rielly-Marincin/Hunwick
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Marincin/Hunwick-Carrick
Corrado

Andersen-UFA/Sparks

Bozak, Bernier, Leivo, Holland and Percy (and some prospects) traded. Everyone else to the Marlies or elsewhere.

Obviously still need to find a top pairing defenseman, but I think next year will be a better time. Starting to look pretty good IMO.

 

[Field of Dreams]

I think jvr/leivo/holland are all gone this summer for some D help.

Playing around with these lines makes it very apparent that there are many more moves to be made. There is clearly a logjam on all positions of the forward group, and a clear lack of depth on RD.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Waaaay too early.

 

[jiggy35]

JVR - Matthews - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Brown
Michalek - Bozak - Nylander
Rychel - Laich - Hyman
Greening

Rielly - Zaitsev
Gardiner - Carrick
Marincin - Hunwick
Percy

Andersen
Hopefully not Bernier

 

[LeafingTheWay]

5v5 Fs
JVR - Matthews - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Nylander
Soshnikov - Bozak - Brown
Rychel - Laich - Hyman

5v5 D
Rielly - Zaistev
Gardiner - Carrick
Marincin - Corrado

Andersen
Bernier

I think that's the best lineup we can put out in terms of effectiveness. 1st line and 3rd line get slightly sheltered minutes, 2nd line get even zone minutes and 4th line gets more defensive zone minutes.

PP1
JVR - Matthews - Marner
Kadri - Rielly
PP2
Komarov - Bozak - Brown
Gardiner - Nylander

 

[frog]

Michalek - Kadri - Parenteau
Lupul - Bozak - JVR
Komorov - Mathews - Laich
Hyman - Holland - Greening/Marner/Nylander (Whoever earns that spot)

 

[notdoneyet]

JVR Stamkos Marner
Michalek Matthews Nylander
Sosh Kadri Komarov
Hyman Laich Greening

Rielly Zaitsev
Gardiner Carrick
Hunwick Percy
Corrado

Anderson
bernier

Bozak will be trade after July 1 because he will have been paid his 2m bonus and will only cost the team he goes to 2.2M in actual dollars

Michalek will be traded at the deadline and rychel will come up and replace him

next year laich greening michalek gone will give us another 11 million to play with

sign Tavares Baby!!!!!!

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I imagine Matthews will be on the 3rd line being sheltered by Bozak and Kadri. Also 1 of Nylander or Marner will be on Matthews line and see who has chemistry. I think Bozak and JVR stay together as they seem to mesh.

Komorov-Kadri Marner
JVR-BOZAK-BROWN
Michalek-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Laich-Parentau

Kap being the extra forward

Defense is pretty obvious.

 

[Steveei]

IF we get stamkos..

Michalek-Stamkos-kapanen
Komorov-Matthews-JVR
Sushnikov-Bozak-kadri
Nylander-Laich-Marner

Yeah, lets put both Marner and Nylander on the fourth line, JVR on his off wing, and Kapanen on the first line - sounds like an amazing idea. What a mess.
