Michalek and Greening in the top six, Holland on the team, no Marner...?

Gross all around.

It doesnt really matter where anyone plays lol we are still in the process of cleaning up our roster. That Dion trade is still lingering on and is pain in the ass. :shakehead

As it stands, the Leafs are over the cap. I would think that management would like to have as much as they can to pounce on another team's waiver wire casualties, especially since we have first dibs.

On the flip side, selling veteran players when they don't have trading value (or negative value) is not too smart in a transitional year filled with rookie struggles and key players adapting to Babcock's systems.

If we're sending Marner back to junior again so that Colin friggin' Greening can get minutes, then something is wrong.

My 2 cents.

I would like to see Mitch on the Leafs but if he is sent back to Jr, not a big deal. He will make it the following year. :nod:

That's the team unless a trade, waivers, etc happens :nod:

I'd rather build the lines to make our youth transition successfully.

1A)JvR-Bozak-Brown (18mins)
1B)Komarov-Kadri-Marner (17mins)
2)Michalek-Matthews-Nylander (15mins)
4)Martin-Laich-Hyman (10mins)

Post Deadline:

1)Komarov-Kadri-Marner (20mins)
2A)JvR-Matthews-Brown (15mins)
2B)Michalek-Nylander-Soshnikov (15mins)
4)Martin-Laich-Hyman (10mins)

We look very weak on RW, with no one really jumping out.

I know Lupul is a right handed shot. Might be a great opportunity for him to get himself into the lineup.

Anyone know if he has played RW before?

Was originally a RW but had his best season at LW because he's too slow to get around guys and being on the off-wing allows him to release his above-average shot quicker.

I think its time people should learn to move on from posting Bozak on the top line ideas.

It ain't happening.


It's possible.

Matthews is going to be there eventually. Let's hope sooner than later.

Meanwhile Bozak is now officially behind Kadri on the depth chart for those that were asleep last season.

I see something like this happening.

Start of season:

Kadri
Bozak
Matthews

Mid season:
Kadri
Matthews
Bozak

Trade deadline - end of season:
Matthews
Kadri
Nylander
