Nielsen won't be with the Leafs next year, he's got some good offensive instincts but he's still a way's away from making the NHL.

Kapanen is a lock to make it (if that wasn't obvious)
Dermott will most likely make the team.
Rychel is waiver-eligible so I could see him being traded (he would be a good, cheap 4th line forward)
Johnnson could be called up in case of injuries.
Rosen is an unknown but he is 23 so it wouldn't be hard to see him playing some games.

Yea I didn't think Nielsen was quiet ready either. Kapanen should start the season on the fourth line with Moore, while might not be dressed often do to the Hainsey signing.

Players I think have a shot at next years roster: Kerby Rychel, Miro Aaltonen, Travis Dermott, and Andrew Nielsen.

An absolute lock: Kasperi Kapanen.

Kapanen. Maybe Dermot, but you think Dermot would be the first recall is case of injury if he's not with the Leafs. Some of the other young Marlies need AHL or North American experience. Really can't see Rychel being an NHLer well maybe a fourth liner if Komarov or Martin are injured.
