I can see the Leafs re-signing him as a depth player at around $1 mil again 1-way contract and then they could demote him to the Marlies and he would still be in Toronto earning the same amount.
A young Dman doesn't fit well as a #7 dman and sitting in the pressbox if he can play regularly in the AHL. Ranger as the depth spare player a better fit for that role.
I didn't mean leave a prospect on the bench or in the pressbox, more rotate them up from the minors throughout the season.
Getting 4 shifts a period isn't a lot, but it still gives them exposure to the NHL game.
