[Defense]

I can see Leafs carrying 8 D on the opening night line up. Especially if Rielly plays a 5 game sample.

Liles can give us a good return. Franson can give a decent return too. But we need to get rid of Komisarek somehow.
We'll probably carry 8 defenceman.

Gunnerson
Liles
Komi
Holzer
Gardiner

fraser (gets sent down after waivers)
kostka (stays if komi is bought out or he gets sent down after waivers)
rielly (back to junior)

Something like this. I could see losing Kostka

 

[Defense]

23 man roster, so which defence goes?

2 goalies
13 forwards
8 defense

Equals 23 right?

 

[cup67]

Something like this.

komi is staying
fraser and kostka on waivers will get picked up

Pretty much how it'll go.

fraser and kostka on waivers will get picked up

I'm impressed with your absolute certainty of the future, but word in camp is Kostka is outplaying Komi and the Leafs are debating what to do. Fraser could easily clear waiver.

I hope Kostka outplays him. I think Fraser can get picked up.

 

[BlueBaron]

Entirely possible. The Islanders might want him, they seem to be trying to build the all waiver team.

 

[Leafsman]

Can Holzer be sent down without being put on waivers?

 

[ULF_55]

komi is staying or he would of all ready been put on waivers

Well he has a NMC so he can't be demoted.

 

[cup67]

Well he has a NMC so he can't be demoted.

so he is staying than

 

[inthe6ix]

Can Holzer be sent down without being put on waivers?

Yes, Korbi can be sent down and does not have to clear.

If we are really that high on Kostka and Fraser, the best thing to keep them (because Kostka would get picked off waivers easy) would be to send Rielly back to MJ and send Korbi to the Marlies - 5 games would be nice for Morgan, but I think the consensus amongst the majority is that he needs to go down after those 5 games are up, regardless of how he plays.

 

[Drew311]

I think it's stupid that players have to go through waivers during training camp. Teams should be able to keep the players they send down before the season starts.

 

[abhanot]

Too many puck-moving defencemen?

Well, for opening night, we're starting to see the roster we're gonna have. I think it'll be:

Lupul-Kadri-Kessel
JVR-Grabovski-Kulemin
MacArthur-Bozak-Frattin
Komarov-Steckel-McClement

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Liles-Franson
Gardiner/Rielly-Komisarek/Holzer

Reimer
Scrivens

However, Nonis seems to have embraced the idea of playing the kids and shipping out our older players. With Percy, Blacker, Finn, and Yeo, not to mention Kostka and Fraser, do we see any trades with Gunnarsson, Liles, Komi, or Holzer coming up? All 4 have been involved in diff. trade scenarios. Perhaps by the trade deadline or draft day? Or does Nonis keep them and address all this in the offseason?

there is a purpose for it... it gives guys a chance at NHL level somewhere else... which for them means a huge pay raise

 

[Hero]

Either way Rielly is gone imo.

Gunnar - Phaneuf
Liles - Komisarek
Franson - Holzer

 

[Lansdown]

Can we just tell Komisarek to stay home?

 

[Razz]

Can we just tell Komisarek to stay home?

We'll know in a few hours what we told Komi to do.

 

[Leafidelity]

Rielly/Gunnarsson - Phaneuf
Liles - Komisarek
Gunnarsson/Rielly - Franson

Gardiner

Wouldn't surprise me if the Leafs keep 7 defensemen on the bench against the Habs. Rielly seems likely to get his 5 games and will probably see PP time.
