Thread: Who to add with the Muzzin extention upcoming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>I am not sure I would resign Kyle Clifford. He's expensive for what a 4th line option should give you. I really hope Egor Korshkov is ready for the NHL next season (he's one for one so far) and maybe even Marchment. Petan or Agostino can play 4th line minutes for all Keefe uses them.

I go back and forth on trading Kapanen. I'd love to see him become a Hyman type player at RW on the Nylander-Tavares line (with Willie on the LW). That makes a very dangerous top-6, and leaves Johnsson or Kerfoot to provide a bit of depth scoring (one probably needs to be moved). Maybe Bracco can help with that a bit, but he needs to figure things out first.</div></div>

I agree with the depth scoring bit. I think it hasn't been discussed how the leafs depth scoring has taking a massive **** ever since the Mikheyev injury. That guy was a beauty when in the lineup

Thread: Post allstar roster and lines without a trade Is it enough for a playoff push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>The Leafs shouldn't be so worried about the contract as they are winning now. Marincin has been OK. But if the Leafs go with the roster you have shown, there still might be a injury in the next two months and Leafs might have to recall Sandin anyway.
Saw Liljegren the other night. He might have learned a valuable lesson. The NHL game is faster than the AHL. A few times he gathered the puck and seem to think "What is my best play?" Then a Hawk player was on him. Gotta learn"the best play" has been thought out, before you touch the puck.</div></div>

Great insight. Sandin would be the first callup if any Dman gets injured for sure. Liljegren looked pretty good in terms of skating and passing, but similarly to Sandin, as you said, a decision has to be made prior to getting the puck a lot of the time, and they have to play a little quicker. Which of course they will learn as they are only 19 and 20 years old!
