I foresee:

Rielly Muzzin
Gardiner Hainsey
Dermott Zaitsev
Oz (kept on roster or possibly AHL bound)

Marincin and/or Holl will be waived or traded.

I also believe Zaitsev will be traded ASAP.

I don't see Gardiner being moved prior to the deadline unless he is sufficiently replaced.

Asset management suggests Oz down is most likely.

Moving Holl for a pick makes easy sense too.

Holl is signed at league minimum for next year. And he shoots right. That is why it likely is not him. Leafs need quite a few league minimum CAP hits next year especially #7 dman.

OZ is most likely to go down because he needs to keep playing in case of injury on Leafs and he can move freely between Leafs and Marlies.

Marincin is Babs fav but he is not signed for next year and he is more than league minimum this year. He will go on waivers before Holl.

I just don't know why you'd sign an AHL all-star RHD, and then have him sit in the pressbox all year. Yes he's older, yes he's a "journeyman" but he can't get in a few games over Oz, or Marincin, or Hainsey even? What was the point?

And what happens if they need him at some point? He comes in cold af. Makes no sense, as you said, helps no one

Not really a fan of Oz after seeing him play 1/2 season - know Babs wants him to be a major PK guy but he's the odd man out with Muzzin coming in; Hainsey can save his body and old legs for the PK full time instead of having to keep up with Morgan on the top pairing.

IMO, Marincin should have been rocketed into space a long time ago.

8 defensemen were too many to begin with. There's zero point of carrying 9 defensemen. Holl should be allowed to play somewhere whether with the Marlies or another organization.

Wouldn't Ozhiganov have a "get out" clause if we tried sending him down to the minors? I'd imagine he'd be on the next bird out of town back to Russia if we did that to him for any length of time

Just waive Holl, Babcock doesn't even use him

hainsey and dermott a third pairing. gotta be one of the best in the league. terrific pairing. Hainsey still has a lot of game. Now he can get rested and play great in the playoffs.

Such a good trade by BADASS DEWBASS.

Oz would have his salary drop a lot if he's sent to the minors. I think he'd rather sit than go to the AHL. I'd waive Holl. Doubt anyone claims him.

Oz to the Marlies, he's waivers exempt and he can be recalled if an injury happens and they needsomeone for the top-6 keeping Marincin and Holl in the press box. Holl is likely moved in a deadline trade for a roster player. Marincin is kept for additional depth, but rarely plays like now.

We have a good d now. Very nice by doobie. MUZZIN is a huge add. Crazy huge. Surprised this is not getting more fanfare.

A Dman who can skate, shoot, puckhandle and splatter the odd guy into the panels. Bigtime add.
