Cowen and Minten sticking around I guess?Slightly surprised Abruzzese and Steeves got sent down already, although they weren't all that good in the games they played. Hirvonen has been very disappointing, albeit I have never been very high on him.
Also surprised Hildeby wasn't kept as a back-up for a bit longer.
Have they signed their entry-level contracts yet?Cowen and Minten sticking around I guess?
yeah. both have alreadyHave they signed their entry-level contracts yet?
My opening night lineup:
Assuming Timmins is injured.
Knies - Matthews - Marner
Bertuzzi - Tavares - Robertson
Jarnkrok - Domi - Nylander
Lafferty - Kampf - Reaves**
Rielly - Brodie
McCabe - Klingberg
Giordano - Liljegren
Sammy
Woll
** In full transparency I would send Reaves down in favor of signing Noah Gregor at League Min
--------------------------------------------------
Minten's size down the middle, defensive acumen, and his chemistry with Knies makes things interesting in terms of deepening our lineup. I think he could use a year more of physical development but he has arguably been one of our 4 best centers in camp.yeah. both have already
Cowen and Minten sticking around I guess?

It's weird cause CapFriendly had him listed still up. But I see him on the leafs announcementTverberg was cut
OoOOOOooohh yeaahh.Here is our lineup after cuts:

I would guess the answer to that is yes... seems to me he is floundering a bit. Let him get some games, some momentum and then bring him up.I think Nicky Bobby is destined for the Marlies. He needs reps more than anything and the AHL is better suited for him at this point in time.
Willy didn't make the cut? Damn!Here is our lineup after cuts:

Agreed, although I think JT may need him on the third line more.Domi, Nylander need a babysitter and his name is Jarnkrok. Decent chance he goes 20/20 like last year playing with Tavares/Matthews
This right now looks like what we can expect to see. Robertson picked a bad game to be invisible playing with the big boys when he's life and death to break with the big club.Assuming Klingberg and Jarnkrok can go for October 11th, everyone else is healthy and Timmins ends up on LTIR.
Bertuzzi Matthews Marner
Knies Tavares Lafferty
Domi Nylander Jarnkrok
Gregor Kampf Reaves
Rielly Brodie
McCabe Klingberg
Gio Liljegren
Sammy
Woll
LTIR: Murray, Muzzin, Timmins, Gambrell
Cap space ~600k depending on how much Gregor signs for.
Agree, hasn't looked good enough as much as I want him to succeed.I think Nicky Bobby is destined for the Marlies. He needs reps more than anything and the AHL is better suited for him at this point in time.
Yup. Was really rooting for him and I think he does a lot of things well... but he seems too hyped up. He needs to learn how to pace himself a bit. Plenty of talent.I think Nicky Bobby is destined for the Marlies. He needs reps more than anything and the AHL is better suited for him at this point in time.
Yeah they’re going to try and sneak him past waivers but don’t think he’ll make it.So what’s the plan for M.Jones?
Is he going to be waived and Woll will be the backup?
