Lets talk leaf fans

Barabanov replaces Boyd I think

Trade Holl, Keep dermott, run a 22 man roster.

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Robertson*-Tavares-Nylander
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Simmonds
Barabanov-Thornton-Spezza

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Lehtonen
Dermott-Bogosian

Andersen
Campbell

*If robertson doesnt play this season, put Mikheyev on the second line, Barabanov on the third line, and Vesey on the fourth line.

And then any assortment of Sandin, Vesey, Engvall, Boyd, Petan, Korshkov, Liljegren, Marincin as scratches or injury call-ups.

Roster would be:

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Robertson - Tavares - Marner
Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Simmonds
Vesey - Thornton - Spezza
Engvall - Boyd - Barabanov

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Dermott
Lehtonen - Holl
Sandin - Bogosian

Andersen
Campbell
Dell

There would be non-cap players travelling with teams which would allow for 20-man rosters without any troubles in case of injuries.

Forwards - beats me.

For D I suspect:
Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Lehtonen/Holl
Lehtonen/Dermott - Bogosian

I envision Lehtonen, Holl and Dermott rotating in and out of the lineup until they come up with a solidified lineup. If Lehtonen wins out the spot with Muzzin then I think the Leafs' will have a hard time finding a spot for Holl. And at 2M no other team is going to be eager to add him to their own lineup - the same goes for the common belief that Seattle will take Holl in the expansion draft. I see no reason why they would consider him. I don't think there is any chance that Dermott plays 2nd pairing on the right side. I do think that the Leafs' will regret their completely irresponsible development of Sandin for years to come.

yeah
