Elias has said he would accept the Captain role if offered to Advanced Media today. Basically said he would love to help out and be a leader amongst the new / young guys

"No question about it because it's an honor and you have a lot of young guys and new guys here," Elias said. "I think I can do the job, probably better than I did 10 years ago."

You guys see what is happening with the Leafs?

Not sure if I miss having to read Lou trades X young players to X team for old garbage no matter the situation

Giving up like five guys for Grabner seems laughable but really it sounds like more of a situation where they were just dumping bodies to get flexibility, a la throwing out our garbage in the Zidlicky trade to create space.

Love the Tlusty deal, looking forward to whatever else Rejean has in store.

When all is said and done, I would guess this will be the 23 man roster (given who is there right now):

Cammalleri
Zajac
Tlusty
Henrique
Josefson
Palmieri
Matteau
Kalinin
Tootoo
Boucher
Elias
Stempniak
Ruutu
Gionta

Greene
Larsson
Merrill
Severson
Gelinas
Schlemko
Moore

Schneider
Kinkaid

I would think that Kalinin/Stempniak are the two most likely to not make it if Zacha and/or Blandisi do. If it were up to me, there would be no way that happens though.

Defense and goaltending are definitely locked. Boucher with a concussion, though, I'd be surprised if he's on the opening night roster. With that, I think Kennedy has an opening.

I see it working out something like this. Tlusty makes the top six. Mattheau and Kalinin in the bottom six. Kennedy gets a tryout as a favor from Shero. We have no room for Tyler, we have Gio who is similar.

The waiver period will be interesting, who will we claim and who might we lose?
