There are way too many fringe NHLers on the Marlies as it is right now, I hope some trades are in the works.

How about something like this.
Stars get: Johnsson, Schmaltz. Aberg
Leafs get: Anton Khudobin, rights to Julius Honka, Jason Robertson
Leafs save about $900K on the cap, allowing for one more spare player to be kept. They get a reliable G backup, a RD who wants out out Dallas and can't play in the NHL this season without clearing waivers, but still has some upside potential for next year's cap crunch. Plus get a LW prospect to kick the ball down the road as a cheap ELC replacement on LW when the current LW's need to get paid.
Dallas gets Johnsson, plus a RD who would be on their roster right now. And a RW buried behind depth here, but had 19 points in 37 games for the Ducks last season, and is still an RFA.

I just don't see the Wild as good trading partners for the Leafs. Plus Dubnyk has been really bad behind a rather strong D core this season.

I think our team would be better without Ceci. I wish they had just walked on him. Could have had Gards for less but even without him we could get by and have room to add a RHD at the trade deadline.

Really only 8 votes for Gravel? The guy who has already cleared waivers so don't require waivers again. You think they're going to waive Marincin or Holl before him? Unlikely as much as people want to hate Marincin.
With Tavares hurt they'll have to go 13F/6D with Tavares as the extra. So basically everyone not currently playing games has to go. Then 2 more who Dermott and Hyman replace. Gravel, and Petan are automatic. Don't require waivers unless Hyman's return is later than expected. Then probably Marincin and Shore. But the last could be Spezza if both parties want to cut bait.

Agreed. I think Shore stays because Babcock likes to have him for utility purposes.
Gravel wasn't included on the poll until after many had voted. I just went back and edited my choices to include him.

Muzzin was a little teeny bit rough on Marchand after he pushed him into Andersen Saturday night; it could be him.
Yeah same, I don't think that will happen though. Would send a terrible message in all facets.

They’ll likely put Tavares on retroactive LTIR and when he gets back they’ll play short for a game and then use that relief MacKenzie refers to that allows them to add those 700k players.

They'll be back before Tavares presumably so that means 13 forwards 6 d-men?

Gravel and Petan for certain. Marincin is also likely.
Babs seems to like Shore on faceoffs but if they needed a fourth guy it would be Shore.

Yep. I assume he'll go back down when Dermott comes back. If it takes another 2 weeks before Dermott is cleared, Gravel may have to clear waivers again since it'll be 30 days (I think?)

Not sure why anyone would want to say Tima, he's looked really good. I'm hoping he's with us for a number of years to come myself.
I agree, but once Hyman comes back that pushes Moore or Kapanen down to the 4th line most likely. In that case I feel more comfortable keeping Speeza around just in case someone like Kerfoot, Tavares,Matthews and even Gauthier go down with an injury. Better to have that extra C around and someone who could play up and down the lineup for a few games here and there if it comes down to it.
Edit: Read some other comments and saw Gravel was left off the poll. So keep Speeza and Tima. Problem solved.
