All Purpose Training Camp Thread.

They were just doing drills. I think it's over now.

Oh i thought it was a scrimmage. My bad.

Anyone else interested in claiming Nick Palmieri off waivers from MIN?

Why would we have him in our lineup over Kadri/Frattin?

Too bad it isn't Kyle, who has a better ppg in the AHL than Kadri.

 

[frankthetank91]

Even though Aucoin was good i'm happy he got claimed. The Leafs and Marlies were way too crowded. With Connolly, Lombardi, Armstrong,Aucoin, Crabb etc. all gone we can finally breathe a bit and let players develop with more playing time.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Why would we have him in our lineup over Kadri/Frattin?

He is a gritty young player with decent hands. I would choose him over Brown, Steckel and Orr.


Komarov - Mclement - Palmeri

Exactly this gives more playing time to the younger players on the marlies like Mckegg, Ashton and Ross not to mention some of the younger guys playing in the echl.

Losing Aucoin, Kadri, Frattin, Gardiner, and one or more of Fraser/Kostka/Holzer is definitely going to hurt their Calder Cup chances. What is more important is the Marlies will actually be able to field a team of legitimate prospects who need the seasoning and ice time to develop. AHL ice time can make all the difference in the world when it comes to a players development. McKegg, Abbott, D'amigo, Ross, and Blacker should all benefit from a major bump in playing time.

Orr against Montreal doesn't make sense to me anyway. Brown should be enough to keep Prust in line.

I'd prefer to see Frattin get regular playing time.

Kostka on the top pair?

Ugh I hope we don't have both Brown and Orr play. We only need 1. I want Frattin in the lineup! Also I hope Rielly gets 5 games.

Carlyle says, from an offensive standpoint, Kadri has been among the top players at camp



David Alter ‏@DavidAlter590

Carlyle states that Kadri has NHL skills. Offensively, .Question is if he can be consistent in all parts of the game.



Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris

Randy Carlyle says the #leafs didn't see a fit for Lombardi or Connolly. He hopes it gives life to younger players.



Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris

Randy Carlyle on roster: "It's in my mind already. It's done."



James Mirtle ‏@mirtle

Carlyle: "I think the goalie decision is our toughest decision. Who gets to start."

 

[Guy Boucher]

Doesn't sound like Frattin will make the team. Sounds like Kadri forced them to keep him though.

 

[SprDaVE]

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle

My sense from Carlyle's presser is Frattin won't make the team to start season.

Sounds like Kadri is on the team for sure.

Well I see Frattin over Orr on the regular. With Orr coming in against teams like Boston. Steckel rotates with Brown on the 4th.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle

Which would mean:

Lupul-Bozak-Kessel
JVR-Grabo-Kadri/Mac
Mac/Kadri-McClement-Kulemin
Komarav-Steckel-Brown
ex: Orr

I'd like to see Frattin in the line-up instead of like Steckel.

Finally! The day leafs fans were waiting for-kadri sticks with the big club

 

[topched]

Frattin won't be in the pressbox or in a 4th line role. Not good for his development or for the team.

Also brown is never coming out of this lineup... Has the lOckout made ppl forget just how effective he is?

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

If Frattin wants to play on the Marlies, does he need to pass through waivers?

 

[Ed Belfour]

Would prefer Frattin to Macarthur.

 

[ULF_55]

So it's looking like the forward group is starting to take shape:

Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
Mac - Grabo The Warrior - Kulemin
JVR - Kadri - Frattin/Komarov
Brown - McClement - Frattin/Komarov
Steckel, Connolly

Seems the 1st. two lines were that way in camp.

Not sure why Carlyle would gamble with his two known NHL lines?

 

[ULF_55]

If Frattin wants to play on the Marlies, does he need to pass through waivers?

Pretty sure he has 3 NHL games before waiver requirements.
