Description
My first day off in long time, I have coffee and baileys in hand, it's time to get excited about the Leafs and hockey again. Also this is kind of a grey area of what I hope happens with what I think will happen. And this is for October, we all know things will look much different by seasons end.

Will Toronto land Lindholm? Unlikely. A potential 1C and 1D in the same summer? pfft. But JVR is an easy sell to Anaheim. 1st line Left Wing, knows Carlyle system already (poor guy), super cheap, and that 2nd year is huge to get through Bieksa's contract. Retain $600k on it and give them Corrado for free essentially (and to bring JVR's actual paid salary back down to his 425k range).

What about for Fowler? Nope. Put all the chips in for Lindholm or no one at all.

I don't believe Horton or Robidas are going on LTIR with so many performance bonuses set up with Matthews, Marner, and Nylander. Especially since *peaks around corner* they have a good chance at hitting them. So a move like this works in keeping under the cap.

I believe @draglikepull had a theory for Polak being brought on to be sent down and... it makes a lot more sense than signing him to begin with. Same with Holland, I don't believe they would have resigned him if they didn't have to. See how he fairs frontlining the Marlies.

I got a hunch Babcock likes Greening, in particular with Nylander. He's a very smart player. So I doubt you see him bought out/waived. To start you'll see Leivo in the press box waiting for Lupul and Michalek to hurt themselves, with Brown and Marner making the squad on the other side.

That's a rough go for Kadri, and our "1st line''. But hear me out. This isn't a tanking year, but it is a sheltering one. Let the vets tough it out with the top pairings for the first while. PP though, everyone deserves to see Kadri/Marner/net front plug and Nylander/Matthews/net front plug happen.

As for the D, Gardiner as the 3rd pairing!!!??? For whatever reason Babs likes that Hunwick guy (wears the A after all). I think with 3 pairings like that, you'll be seeing pretty even numbers between the bunch, until injuries/production/realizingHunwickisterrible- starts separating things into traditional set ups.

Well that was a fun time well wasted and not spent thing about work, cheers.
