Bring up Mckegg?

[pspot]

rather this then trade anything of value for another 4line guy like fiddler who they ask to play top 6 for 3 games

I could not disagree more.

Given how badly the C position has been hit , I call for a rope a dope defensive posture.

These games mean something, this ain't a "race down for a pick" situation.

Bring up the safest option up from the AHL, training/shmaining

I don't expect the Leafs to compete for the Cup this year.

Everything is training for the Cup.

Could Gautier or Verhaeghe be recalled as an emergency callup?

Nope, not as long as Leafs have other players availabe.

i don't have a problem seeing him on second or third line with more protected min.

it might be worth it to see if raymond can be shifted to centre. he's not a great playmaker, but his actual passing is adequate and his speed creates a lot of space for passing lanes.

so maybe something like this

jvr-raymond-kessel
lupul-mcgregg-kulemin
clarkson-mclemment-smith
mclaren-carrick-orr

lupul can mentor mcgregg with offensive zone play and kuli can cover defensively.

bozak is a third wheel on offense anyways, but raymond breaking in will give kessel and jvr more space. the only problem is that you don't have a defensively responsible guy on first line.

Good game but both of those assist were gimmes. Empty netter and a point shot by Liles on the power play.
