Probably just filling in for McLaren.
- Jeffmt

Very likely. That said, he is a pure Carlyle type player so I wouldn't be shocked to see him stick with the club a bit longer even after he comes back.

I never thought id say this, but...is rielly going to make this team!? wtf...I could actually see Fraser being the 7th D man..
- big_dion

yeah, i dont like it either

So this Leafs Ashton, Rielly, MacWilliam with the big team?

WOW.....

never saw this coming.

I figured they kept liles and sent down Rielly.

this looks like its going to be

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Ranger
Fraser

Scored two in preseason as well.

Are we going to do this all season?
- Jeffmt

Apparently when he has success.

$383,333 in cap space according to capgeek. If you weren't still paying Tucker, Armstrong and retaining salary for Frattin and Scrivens you'd have almost three million.

(I know - thanks tips)
- LeftCoaster

At this point, we don't need any cap space. For this season.

All our positions are set, with enough depth.

yeah, i dont like it either
- Dozzer

I'm assuming they're just giving him his 9 games and then back to junior. There's zero reason to have him up here for the whole season.

yeah, i dont like it either
- Dozzer

you'll learn to love it

So where are we for the whole cap thing?

WOW.....

never saw this coming.

I figured they kept liles and sent down Rielly.

this looks like its going to be

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Ranger
Fraser
- big_dion

i see 4 guys there that irk me when it comes to defense

Scored two in preseason as well.
- Leafland

He is a power fowardish type player. Gets the odd goal, gets into scraps, uses his size...Perfect for out bottom lines.

WOW.....

never saw this coming.

I figured they kept liles and sent down Rielly.

this looks like its going to be

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Ranger
Fraser
- big_dion

Hold up on that, someone has to claim Lilles first

I'm assuming they're just giving him his 9 games and then back to junior. There's zero reason to have him up here for the whole season.
- Jeffmt

hope so

we'll see i guess.

i see 4 guys there that irk me when it comes to defense
- Dozzer

You're going to love Franson before the end of the season, Dozzer. You just wait and see.

is liles actually on waivers?
- big_dion

Liles is on waivers.

Hold up on that, someone has to claim Lilles first
- JACMAN

why is that? if liles goes unclaimed he can be assigned to the marlies.

So this Leafs Ashton, Rielly, MacWilliam with the big team?
- Leafland

Pretty sure they sent MacWilliam down

Hold up on that, someone has to claim Lilles first
- JACMAN

If he goes unclaimed he just ends up with the Marlies.

WOW.....

never saw this coming.

I figured they kept liles and sent down Rielly.

this looks like its going to be

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Gardiner-Franson
Rielly-Ranger
Fraser
- big_dion

Wouldn't surprise me if Rielly is only up for the 9-day free-trial thingy.

WOW.....

never saw this coming.

I figured they kept liles and sent down Rielly.

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson

Would be good if RC reduced Phaneuf's ice time this year.

You're going to love Franson before the end of the season, Dozzer. You just wait and see.
- systemtool

well.. i will admit that in these last couple games he played the body more than i figured he would.

if that continues... and he doesnt get lost in his own end 4x out of 5 then yes.. i will be happy

Cool. Hope someone picks him up. He's an NHLer.
- BetterCallSaul

Liles and Colborne to the Flames for a 4th

Hold up on that, someone has to claim Lilles first
- JACMAN

not really.

he will play for the marlies like Jeff Finger did.

Wouldn't surprise me if Rielly is only up for the 9-day free-trial thingy.
- Stee-Dot

Yeah, that was my guess too. I think they traded Colborne to make room for Rielly's tryout.
