They are going down to a 22 player roster before Wednesday as per Cox and a few other analysts/insiders.
I think they'll simply send down Leivo for the time being. He needs to play to keep developing.

If Booth is on LTIR then they don't need to send someone down to make it to 23-players.
They could just wait and keep Leivo/Ashton on the roster at 23-players and then demote whichever of Frattin/Leivo/Ashton is the most expendable when Booth is ready to return.
I'm not sure why they would want to go with a 22-man roster instead...

At the current 23-man roster. We have just shy of 500k in cap space for the year. Carrying one less player in the press box gives more breathing room, and since the Marlies are always close, and Orr/McLaren aren't going to be the extra, we don't really need that many guys on hand.

Why do you think that Booth will be any better than the guys you just mentioned?

because we finally have a capologist worth a damn who knows that there's no reason to keep a 23rd player as a second backup forward, when all he does is eat up a million in capspace.

ya know, i'd rather give a kid who dominated the ahl like holland a shot at the top six. or maybe a guy who has produced at 40-50pt paces a couple of times like santo a shot.
and gritty sam carrick had a great camp, as good as anything leivo or kozun did.
wouldn't mind seeing something like this in the end:
Vanryk - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Holland/Santo
Booth - Holland/Santo - Clarkson
Komo - Carrick - Winnik

Any news on Henrik Tallender?...How long will he be out and will he be offered a contract?...I suspect that Tallender will be in the mix for that 6th-7th d-man spot when he heals up.

A dislocated shoulder probably means at least a couple weeks. Seems doubtful but probable if Franson is out for a longer period of time or if injuries start piling up.
No. The Leafs should always be a cap team no matter how poorly they do.
The question about the cap should revolve around which players are on long term deals.
Every season, the team should be looking to fill depth because they can, its what we all pay for (more specifically the season ticket holders), but they need to be careful about long term deals the same as everyone else.
Because of the shoulder injury the Leafs are in a good bargaining position with Tallender. Teams won't be inquiring to sign him while he's injured and Tallender will likely give the Leafs the first shot...He may be a useful depth d-man in the future...I expect to see him in a Leafs uniform at some point this season unless another team needs a defenseman because of injuries.

Trade wise? I would think either Frattin/Ashton could be traded for depth barring an injury.
We are more comfortable with Robidas/Polak/Franson(sheltered minutes)
Prospect wise weak on RHD. Throwing a lefty into the mix 4 LHD and 2 RHD isn't ideal but can be worked with.
Granberg, Holzer, Nilsson could all get looks with injury. I like our D-core better this year the last, I think they'll be under-rated
People tend to count leafs prospects out, I think Percy has a chance to really surprise this season. He has all the tools to become a Paul Martin type defenseman.
At this point, Percy appears to have cemented himself to that roster. They kept Loov from going to the SEL, and had Holzer clear waivers.
If anyone should be signing Tallinder, it'd be Buffalo for pooching his chances of landing a gig in Toronto.
I think Tallinder was insurance in case Robidas wasn't ready to return. The Leafs wanted a veteran presence to stabilize the backend.
With Robidas coming back fine, there's no need to have Tallinder.
