You can't believe that a laundry list of $700k players allowed to walk from other organizations aren't particularly good?

There's at least some chance we lose Timashov on waivers, I'd be fine with him making the team.

Timashov has been solid. I think he used the Trevor Moore way of playing yourself into a roster spot --- hard work. He's been used on the PK well and he's been skating pretty good.

Whoop de doo.
He'll quickly revert to being a big guy who doesn't hit and can't score.

He's been doing everything a 4th line center should do. He's been really good in pre-season. He just has to bring that into the season.
He's never going to score much but he'll give you effort and gap closing abilities in the defensive zone.

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
I think this game is a lost opportunity to really gauge the players who have a realistic chance of playing on the Leafs this year. We're around the midpoint of preseason, and the only forwards in that group that have a chance are Agostino and Petan. All the other forwards should have already been assigned to the Marlies.

Doesn't hit.. yet somehow had more hits/60 than any other forward on the team last year, and was second in absolute hits. hmmm

OK, I'll concede if those are the stats but he sure doesn't look like he plays a physical game for someone his size. I don't think he intimidates anyone.
RAther see Marchment on the wing - he's got some hands at least.

No, not an intimidating guy, just effective. He rubs people out, separates them from the puck, and stops other teams from scoring. He's likely the C, not the Winger. Goat is on his way to being a very effective, cheap 4C... and a good one... except with no hands for scoring.

Good on Gauthier for having a strong preseason showing. I thought he might be in tough with the addition of forwards who can at least be part time centres. I'd like to think Timashov would clear waivers since he has yet to play in the NHL, but he's also still young enough that a rebuilding team might have jumped at the chance. Don't mind him possibly getting an opportunity to stick here. Moore also looks to have an opportunity to play solid minutes on that third line. He's shown well up to this point and earned that. Agostino, and to a lesser extent Petan, possibly being spares at best is a bit surprising to me.
Trust me, it ain't a picnic to have a 240lb forward take you out of the play physically no matter how cleanly it is. I think some fans have not only never been on the ice with this level of speed and strength, they've never even sat near the boards for a pro game. What looks like a courtesy bump 50 feet away definitely isn't up close.

Wow that’s a pretty pitiful roster for tonights game. I wonder if guys like lilj, Schmaltz and Agostino can still delay a roster decision if they play really well.
Anyone but Marincin please ... and Agostino was really starting to win me over this pre season. I’m surprised Babs isn’t more of a fan

Yikes what a Leafs line-up..
With NFL Monday night football on the ticket, watching this game might take a back seat and a PVR and watch afterwards candidate.
This is a Marlies line-up against Montreal tonight.

Too bad so sad. The ratings will be lowest ever for tonight's game. It is last game before cuts.
They're looking to see whether Timashov can provide something close to what Moore brought to his Spezza-Gauthier linemates. He might be able to deliver a less fleet version of that.
The issue with Moore up in the lineup will probably be the same issue fans have had with Hyman and Brown: the high tempo of the Leafs' best talent can be challenging to keep up with.
