How is Benoit on the team over Giordano and Timmins?

Benoit had an article published on sportsnet.ca today.
He said he was going to be on the team….
Sooooo I guess he’s on the team?

How is Gambrell on the team?
He has a concussion, and there are at least 4-5 better options

Yikes, players deciding who is in the NHL or AHL? Maybe Benoit was confused or was deliberately trying to confuse the reporter, He probably said, "I'll be playing for Toronto."

Pretty weak lineup.

So another vet (simmonds) who winds his career down by not playing doesn;t look good for the team,
timmins probably gets claimed on waivers which makes your 7th dman Lageson?
Benoit on 2nd pair? Ooof, look at the stats klingberg and benoit had last year and tell me thats a good 2nd pair?
Lafferty on 2nd line?
Wasting Nylander on 3rd line with weak wingers in gambrel (who probably doesnt make the team) and mucker gregor. Those guys are AHLers on a good team.
Robertson and Knies in minors?
11 of your 20 players are expiring?
Wow talk about a thin team
