Thread: Minor tweeks
I never called them great, but Leivo had 10 points in 13 games for the Leafs, Leipsic had 3 in 6 games. Small sample size for sure, but they've shown they're at the very least good prospects, and at 22 and 23 years old are right on track with your average bottom 6 forward. Not saying either of those guys are going to be great- I look at both as 3rd line guys who might be able to slide up to the 2nd. Most of the leafs prospects on the wing look to be top 9 potential kind of guys. Point is they've got depth at forwards who can (and in my opinion, should) be moved to a team willing to part with some defensive depth.
Bracco is a hard guy to figure... I've heard some not so great things about his personality and ethic, but his skill level is off the charts. If he ever puts it all together I can see top 6, if not, he'll be another Robbie Schremp

So maybe it wasn't so minor... sue me. Tinordi is only there as a depth defenceman to give guys like Neilsen/Dermott one more year developing. He's no worse than Marincin or Marchenko.
Timashov is in a glut of skilled wingers with Leipsic, Leivo, Soshnikov, Kapanen, Bracco, Rychel, Johnson, Moore all fighting for bottom 6 spots. So yeah, I'd call that stuck. You're going to need to move 3 or 4 of those guys.
Leivo has proven he can play and score in the NHL. Leipsic is a PPG player in the AHL which isn't easy for a young guy. They're NHLers so I don't know why you're down on them.
You can always waive a NMC, Bieksa might enjoy a fresh start instead of the frustration of being on a good team that can never get it done when it counts. As for Bibeau, that was an oversight, I meant to look for a FA goalie- but I still think he's got a future in the league. He's 23 it takes goalies a while to develop.
