Are there any cap reasons why we can’t let Lily get a game in on a back to back and give Bogosian a night off?

I had forgotten about former leaf prospect Sam Carrick. Since his last game for the Leafs in 2015 he’s been grinding it out in the Ducks farm system for 4 years and just got called up and had a goal and a fight in his first game up with the Ducks.

Yes there are. Apparently if the Leafs are accumulating cap space which they are, they can't play Liljegren.

Yes, post TDL you should see all of Lil, Sandin, Robertson etc. getting opportunities and giving vets like Bogo, Thornton, Spezz a rest.
Leafs currently trying to maximize their limited cap space.
I really hope he comes over TBH. The Russian system is a complete joke for NA bound players. Its a very good league over there, but it is so political. I guess I can understand to some degree. But there is no way Rodian should have received as little minutes on UFA this year. Not to draw the comp to a completely different sport. But it would have been like the Vancouver Whitecaps playing Alfonzo Davies as a substitute in his final year as a cap. They clearly know where the MLS ranks on the global hierarchy of football, so they were more than willing to give him the opportunity to prosper, knowing he'd inevitably leave for Europe. I feel like the KHL has this inferiority complex with the NHL where they legit think they are the best league in the world. They have repeatedly held back development on NA bound Players seemingly only for political reasons. The Leafs obviously need to maintain a working relationship with the KHL and its players, but I really don't think the best thing for Rodian is to play under 10 minutes a night in a bottom 6 role in the K. Play the shit outta this kid on the Marlies next year. Same thing they did with Willy. Seems to be working out just fine. Hopefully the rumors of him signing in TO are true.
Friday's game against Laval will be a good one. Caufield's quarantine ended yesterday and he's practicing with the Rockets, so likely get to see Robertson go head to head with him in a couple days.
Kral's quarantine is already over as of the 6th and is currently in Toronto. Would like to see him thrown immediately into a top 4 role on Friday with Moore saying he expects an immediate impact.: Kral-Liljegren or Kral-Rosen would be ideal, depending on who is with the taxi squad.

Would like to see us bring him over. We've done a great job with Sandin/Liljegren/Robertson being underaged on the Marlies.
Would also give the lineup some more skill.
Amirov won't even be underage, it will be like a CHL guy coming in after the playoffs then staying full time the next season rather than playing an OA/U21 year in junior

There's a lot of hockey left. It would make a lot of sense. Marlies could use some reinforcement too.

This is even better then joining the Marlies. He gets to play in the same league but this time for a good team.
don't mind this one bit. I swear Mikko is going to be one of those prospects that we just kind of forget about until he shockingly is our bottom pair LD. He doesn't carry the same ceiling as the big 4 prospects or even neimela for that matter. But he has a very high floor in my opinion. I think he is almost certainly going to play in the NHL at some point. Just might take a bit longer
Woulda been nice to have him a phone call away and easy to watch, but this doesn’t sound bad for him.
The Kral show in 21-22. Kokkonen and Niemala in 22-23. Koster in 23-24.

Why would you think we're trading away 2 of our top 4 prospects? We're definitely not doing that for a rental and to trade two guys like that means we're getting a serious player back with likely a troublesome cap hit for us.
One of the top four might be gone if we get a very good top 6 player with a contract that fits our future cap. Personally, I expect someone outside the top 4 prospects, or future first/second round picks to be used if we make a move before the TDL.
We aren't allowed to have more than 1 good prospect according to some fans. Either that or they would trade a top prospect for a Plekanec or Boyle type. Both are silly.
so Rodian Amirov just posted a picture on instagram and it looks kinda like a farewell thank you to the fans of UFA. put the text in google translate and it reads:
Ishimbay is my Motherland, my fellow countrymen are always in my heart! I was happy to come here and see my friends, acquaintances and relatives! Thanks to @khabirovradii and the administration of Ishimbay for the ice palace! Now the dreams and hopes of many boys and girls will definitely come true!
can anyone read Russian and provide context, I can't tell if he is thanking them for a new ice facility or for giving him an opportunity to play lol

Koshan just tweeted that talks between his agent and the Leafs are beginning. He should sign his ELC any day now.
My Russian is admittedly not great, but the Google Translate translation seem pretty accurate in this case (which is not always the case).
It seems like both a thank you to the government for the new arena and a little bit of a farewell. He says he was (был) happy to go there (i.e., past tense)
Ya it looks like that is the case just by the photos. Seemed like a thank you, goodbye.
Thanks!
Leafs at Knight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
St.Cloud going to the finals. Disappointing game from Miettinen, didn't notice him at all. He hasn't been that good in this tournament.
