I'm very interested to see how this group matches up against Toronto.

 

[Legend123]

I heard Babs will play an AHL roster vs the habs on monday. So much for sheltering Price, eh?

 

[Le Tricolore]

Leafs suck. Go Habs.

Well I dunno? How well did we do against them last season? There isn't any reason to expect a different result

 

[cphabs]

Coconut playing?

Welcome to the John Tavares Show ... where Tavares is the greatest player of all time and #2 is his partner in crime Matthews .

Some of the things you can hear if you listen to TSN or Sportsnet for this one

also Kind of hilarious Nylander still is not signed . Cap Problems are around the corner for this very young team lol

It aint exactly a mystery.

 

[Rapala]

Some guys who played on Saturday will end up playing again.

In nets, I think Niemi will get the entire game, as Lindgren played 60 minutes in Quebec against Washington, Price played the entire game last night against Ottawa. So my guess is this one is Niemi's turn.

The only players still at camp who didn't play last game are from the forwards: Froese, Agostino, Chaput, DLR, Hudon, Lehkonen, and Suzuki. On defense, Valiev, Moravcik, Sklenicka, Schlemko, Lernout, Ouellet, and Deprés.

Tatar, Danault, and Gallagher played on Thursday and Saturday, so I'm thinking they get this game off. I can see CJ have Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Armia play a second game in a row. It would be JK's third in a row, though. But that could be something they may consider doing to give this kid a more in depth look. I also think Suzuki will center Hudon and Lehkonen.

How about resting Kotka so we won't hurt as much when he goes?

They gotta want Max Domi right now's the time to swipe Nylander. Can't win with talent alone need grit determination and a few brain cells also.
MB is such a brick.

Marner will likely have a big season next year playing along with Tavares and would want 10+ mil on his next contract
Leafs could end up with 33 mil on 3 players, which is a crazy amount

 

[Runner77]

Coconut playing?

Who's that?

 

[Dominator13]

I'd REALLY like to see Drouin-Suzuki-Armia tomorrow. Let's give him his shot too to see where he's at in his development compared to Kotkaniemi.

No cap issues at all, all of these kids are going to take big hometown discounts to keep the Leafs togedder forever...

just a few players i would take over Tavares . MacD, Sid, Malkin, Mackinnon, Hall, Wheeler, Schiefley, Pasternak, Bergevin, Giroux, Couture, Stamps and Kutz, Kane, Matthews, Eichel, Barkov, Getzlaf, Kopitar, Carter, Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Courtier

You forgot Kotkaniemi???????

 

[ottawa]

No cuts today or tomorrow morning?

 

[montreal]

No cuts today or tomorrow morning?

my guess would be after the game. With only 2 games left after that, maybe they cut lose all but a few guys fighting for spots.

[Adam Michaels]

Leafs announced their roster for tomorrow. I added it to the original post.

 

[montreal]

with that roster we might actually go on to win the preseason stanley cup.

 

[Adam Michaels]

To be fair, there's a chance the Habs will have more Laval Rocket players than they did on Saturday, as well.

 

[habsrule22]

If

No cap issues at all, all of these kids are going to take big hometown discounts to keep the Leafs togedder forever..If that was so He d be in camp now.. Also I believe he wanted to be a center and signing there He can kiss that hope away for quite some time

They might... although TOR is not a Tax friendly spot like TB is where we see the stars taking friends term.
Nylander is already an example of this . I don't see Matthews taking less than Eichel bare minimum and closer if not more than Tavares .
Marner if he racks up pts with Tavares could legit get close to 10.

The funny thing is they are still paying Kessel what ~1.2mil for another 4 years lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That's an ugly line-up Toronto's playing. Was hoping for a more competitive team from them. Probably Wednesday then.
