So Zachary Yuen gets an invite, and I don't believe he had any affiliation with the Leafs before did he? I believe he was the Winnipeg pick they were disappointed that they didn't sign.

So much intrigue with these players.

Will Biggs be a man amongst boys?
How does Gauthier look?
Will Leivo stand out?
The Rupert's
Matt Finn's poise
Grenberg in North America
Percy
Will Morgan Rielly dominate?

Can't wait.

If anyone is from or close to London I would suggest going. It is my understanding that the tickets are only about $20 for decent seats.

Just with the forwards... Biggs, Devane, Broll, Rupert, Rupert, Ross.... I'm not sure how many games this team will win, but they sure will beat the crap out of everybody.

He is in fact an invite. Matt Rupert, Trevor Murphy, and Kevin Raine I believe are also additions. Raine was at their development camp.

Raine was. The Rupert twin was at last years either Rookie Tournament or at least the Development Camp if not both.

Raine will be quite busy he is in Russia right now with the Wolves for Junior World Club Cup. The Wolves are defending champs.

I paid just shy of $90 (11.25 per ticket) all-in for a pair of 3rd row seats for all 4 games through the box office. I can only go to two of them, but at that price, I am not complaining. But they did try and stick me with a $5 Convenience charge per ticket that I got them to waive.

Isn't it concerning that all of those players, with the exception of Broll, were former first round picks and you're projecting them to be third liners?

Considering 3 of them were taken between 20-30, no. In that range you should be happy if you get a quality NHLer, even if they're a bottom 6 player

Not really. All of them were picked later in the first round, and the Leafs have had a few 1st-round prospects pan out well (Kadri, Gardiner to name a couple).

Our 1/2 C are locked up for the next few years, so Colborne is bumped down by default. He might be the only one who has a real shot at being a top-six forward. None of them have played well enough to think they'll be top-six. Gauthier is fresh, but our scouts have even said that if you end up having Gauthier at 2C, you're not going to be a playoff team.
