I am surprised I haven't seen a thread like this yet. So I figure I'd start it. It's actually a well disguised "DOES Rielly make the team" thread 
Here is my best guess assuming there aren't any new trades or signings.
Lupul-Kadri-Kessel
JVR-Grabovski-Kulemin
Macarthur-Bozak-Frattin
Connolly-Steckel<->McClement Steckel takes the draws then drops to the wing?
Phaneuf-Gunnarson
Gardiner-Liles (hmm)
Komisarek-Rielly
Reimer
Scrivens
There is a pretty big mess with players who don't fit anywhere. I think a trade or two are going to happen before the 19th. Most likely on Monday. Remember there was nothing to stop the GM's from talking to one another.
I think our top two lines look very competitive. Our 3rd line is also very capable of scoring goals. This is more of a 3-1 forward group than a 2-2 like Burke wanted.
Our top pairing should be solid. I am hoping Gardiner is ready for the season and that he continues his strong play. Liles is hit or miss.. but wasn't he a quick starter last season? Komisarek knows this is his last chance to have an NHL job. If he gets any sort of new contract it won't be for $4.5million that's for sure. I say it every year because I like the guy off the ice.. but he is due for a good season! And of course Morgan (Orr) Rielly the new saviour is destined for greatness!
Our goalie situation isn't all that bad. All I am hearing is Luongo to Toronto almost a sure thing! I'd love him on the Leafs but at what cost? If we don't get him, I think Reimer will show that his first season wasn't a fluke and shut the haters up!
GO LEAFS GO
Signed (NHL) players that aren't on my opening day line up
Lombardi, Brown, Orr(capgeek says hes a buried contract), Franson, Mottau, Holzer (things are looking bad for Komi because Holzer might take his spot).
There should be some competition for the defensive slots in the lineup!
Well what do you think?
