I guess the idea of trying the 'less obvious' and giving 6 examples off the top of my head was a bit difficult to comprehend. Sorry about that.

I really think a marlies dman might really push for a job in the bottom 4
I think liljegren could use another year, and join next year.
Holl and Lindgren could push for a spot, both are RHDs and have some talent.

How many new guys are there?
Tavares replacing Bozak is the only for sure change in the line up.
Jvr's 37 goals will not be easy to replace ,but I get the sense that a 20-25 goal man with better D instincts would do.Perhaps Johnsson fills his spot.
Komarovs production shouldn't be difficult to improve on,but the other attributes he had might be missed. I think Grundstrom or Marcment smell an opening here.Might have to beat out Leivo if Josh actually gets an honest shot!
4th line Center, gonna be some guys grindin' it out for that spot! Gauthier's last kick at the can i'd say,Dubas isn't bringin ' Lindholm over to play on the Marlies and Trevor Moore sure looked good in the playoffs!
On D ...well Polaks job will be the hardest fought over position. Lots of choices. It looks like it's Ozighanovs job to lose,but lots of others to choose from. A 7th Dman will likely hang around as well.Hoping Holl impresses.
One curios thought,is the Ennis signing, Dubas sees something here,must be good analytics or something! Can't wait!

Who’s gonna win the 4th line job? A lot of ppl are pencilling in lindholm but I could see Gauthier or Joris winning that spot.

Yes it is adv stats and he might be hungry to prove people who support him right.
Wait? Are you saying that Lindgren could push for a spot on the Leafs? Because I would shocked if he even managed a decent push for an extra D position on the Marlies.

I totally agree.
For the rest of this year I bet you the Leafs don't make the playoffs.
However, when April 2019 rolls around, playoff time.
oh I wasn't aware Zaitsev played goal in the 3 seasons prior to making the NHL? by all means then try him in goal
I have only watched him play for the Marlies. 4 games at the end of the regular season last year (I watched 2). He played poorly - bad defensively, poor decision making, not strong. I think that he is far behind Holl, Ozhiganov, Liljegren, Subban and Loverde on the right side when it comes to the Marlies (I think he will soon be behind Durzi, Rasanen and Hollowell as well - Wheeler placed all three ahead of him on his prospects ranking - again that is just on the right side). Pronman didn't even include him in the depth notes for his assessment of the Leafs farm system. He needs a lot of work, and needs to adjust to playing on NA ice, and I don't know how he is going to get it. He returned home rather than stick around with the Marlies for the playoffs. He wasn't going to play (Liljegren is far ahead of him), but he could have trained with the team with the other players who were extras. I don't think that he is interested in playing in the ECHL and being a call up for the Marlies.

Funny thing is thats the WORST song on the album. haha. and its about his Dad dying.
But yes. HOCKEY TIME LETS GOOOO!
It'll be Par Lindholm or someone we bring in on a tryout. Neither Jooris nor Gauthier are good enough.
Daniel Winnik, Matt Stajan, Antoine Vermette, Shawn Matthias, Mark Letestu.
I'd wager 1 or 2 of those guys end up in camp to compete with Lindholm

Help is on the way.
No I simply understand that a D man with poor feet is not an NHL player. His two goals are nice and I am sure it is something he will be proud of as he gets older.What? A GPG defneseman can’t be a Leaf? Are you Harold Ballard?
You think Lindgren is a good as Carrick? Jesus Christ...
Carrick is an NHL defenseman man. Lindgren isn't an AHL defenseman yet.
