Training Camp continued

[kb]

would we tho



so...one injury to a leafs dman.

Down 2 if you consider Holl a top-6. But the depth has taken a hit.

we don't know Holl is injured.

we don't know Holl is injured.

true. But coaches don't break trades, so it's probably an injury or personal leave.

Hopefully feels better soon. At least it's not an injury. We might have caught a break with Mete. Losing our #5, #7 and 8 wouldn't be great.

[1specter]

Good to hear it's just food poisoning. Not ideal but way better than a musculoskeletal injury

I mean....pretty meh.

I'd be happy to see kids like Kral or Villeneuve get a short looksee tbh.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Nylander take Holl out for Sushi?

 

[crump]

“Food poisoning”

 

[Burnie97]

Not sure if this was already posted but good news.

 

[Nylander88]

Minus JT and maybe a D-man like Holl or Mete possibly getting healthy, we're about to get a look at our likely opening night lineup. Excited to see what they go with. ZAR playing tonight would all but guarantee they intend to sign him after they make cuts and cap juggle

 

[Tarmore]

I would imagine that taking a Robertson slapshot off the ankle is not too dissimilar from getting shot, with a gun, in the ankle.

Not sure is serious......

Google gun shot wounds and see how many of them didn't break the skin and get back to us.

Kral sure but Villeneuve isn’t even close to ready and I actually like his game

I’m liking Kral, but he does seem to have brief lapses in concentration.
I’m confident he’s a good contributor next year and tidies it up.

 

[jaric1862]

When everyone's healthy, the leafs don't have the cap space to carry Robertson (if they want a 21-an roster). It'll be Malgin alongside Tavares-Nylander

Aston-Reese likely gets a deal anywhere from 750k-765k

 

[zeke]

He sure seems to be a full participant. I'm starting to think he's ready opening night.

 

[therealkoho]

Very interesting camp so far. For me McMann has the lead for a 4th line spot, out of the bubble guys of course. Simmonds probably has a spot locked up due to salary/seniority. Clifford can be a Marlie and called up when injuries happen.

Out of the younger, smaller skilled wingers I think one of Malgin or Robertson starts the year in the top 6 with Tavares out to start the year. Robertson may have more upside and a missile for a shot but Malgin is definitely more poised with the puck. With Engvall missing some time it's almost a guarantee one of them make it into the top 2 lines. Steeves also very much in the mix. If he starts the year as the #1C down on the Marlies I have a feeling he dominates the AHL this year. SDA almost a non factor this camp unfortunately.

3g 5a speaks pretty loud but Malgin has had a better camp then the other bubbles

I’ve liked Steeves camp largely, but I don’t think he’s in the mix at all. Nor do I think McMann is in line for a spot either. Both are clearly headed back to the Marlies Monday imo, but not for any negative reasons. The final roster spots are really down to Robertson and Malgin imo. I guess maybe Holmberg based on Keefe’s comments, and if they really want a center, but that’s the wrong call imo.

 

[therealkoho]

OK which one of you LeaFlanders slipped Holl the bad oyster?

 

[DarkKnight]

 

[thinkblue]

 

[aingefan]

So, Anderson and LilMac on waivers, and 6 Marlies demoted?

 

[CanHeDoIt99]

If Tavares can't go on opening night the Leafs will have to play with 19 players (11 forwards) and then get an emergency recall for game 2 vs Washington. This is assuming Tavares isn't going on LTIR (doesn't seem like he will be out long enough).

Barring another injury or trade they will need to go 11 frwds in g1.

I presume ZAR will sign, Gaudette and Robertson sent down (no need to waive Malgin). Then for game 2 Robertson is emergency recalled back up.
