hmm wonder where Pac fits??
Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Tavares, Knies and Domi all locked into the top 9.
Kampf and likely Dewar (although could be a spare) locked into the 4th line line.
that leave Pacioretty, Jarnkrok, McMann, Holmberg, Robertson, and potentially Cowan and Minten competing for 3 top 9 roles and 1 (possibly 2) 4th line roles.
will be interesting to watch it play out through camp
This is assuming Reaves is likely the 13th forward played in situational games (although wouldn't be shocked if he got waived)

Eff the Habs
I still associate this guy with the Habs so seeing him in a Leafs jersey will be weird. Reminds me of when Plekanec had a stint with Toronto.

my guess is
Knies-Matthwes-Marner
Domi-Tavares-Nylander
Pacioretty-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Robertson-Holmberg-Reaves
leaving Cowan, Minten, Dewar and McMann as spares

Robertson waiting that long cause of opportunity, finally signing, and then Pacioretty getting signed right after is the funniest thing.

That is odd, unless its a sign and trade and/or Patches is LTIR bait

McMann is 100% making the team and not as a spare.
Highly doubt it's a sign and trade given that the Leafs are posting it all over social media. If it was a trade it'd probably be announced at the same time or right after.

If Robertson can't beat him to a job that is his own fault
Pacioretty takes his fitness and conditioning very seriously. It's probably doubtful he ever bounces back from those injuries, but if there is one player that could, it's definitely him.
Enjoyed his time on the habs. As has been the case in habs land for 30 years, he didn't have good support and was asked to carry way more than his talent allowed him to.
He's not a lazy player by any means and has good hockey sense. Would love to see him bounce back, even on the leafs.

This screams "Okay, let's see if this works, and if not, mutual termination".

Offer sheet? No club was going to do that for Robertson. Teams already have their own guys like him.

His skating was key. I'll be interested to see how the motor runs after a few really serious injuries into his mid 30s.
I really liked him in transition but I never really considered him a good static player ie) powerplay. It's the kind of player you wouldn't think would age well particularly given the mileage on his body, but let's see what happens.

So why even float the idea? No team was going to offer sheet Robertson. Makes no sense for Dregger to even mention it. Old man Patches will play ahead of Robertson.
And didn’t the Leafs already sign Haakenpa but he failed his physical?

I would wager that Darren Dreger has a slightly better idea of what could or could not be possible compared to Fatass on HFBoards, but maybe I'm wrong.

Dregger earns his paycheck by catering to the Leafs. Fatass earns his as a donkey model.
Robertson was not getting a contract offer from any other club or it would have happened already. Teams all have their own guys like him.
Very accurate summary of Pacioretty's game, his current limitations, and the obstacles he will have to overcome to have success.
Even if he is a Leaf, I hope he bounces back. I have no idea if he will, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. At this point, it's all about his body keeping up, and Patches was a fitness freak.

Yeah, clearly he wasn't given an offer sheet, but maybe it was floating around as a possibility. Maybe it wasn't. You seem bothered that Dreger said it was possible.

Patches on the Leafs, Kulemin in Ottawa's training camp... We need Montreal to sign a Senators ex-patriot of some kind, to complete the triangle.
