thanks for the yeoman prop

i think you are wrong on him.. this is a case of therrien not liking him and not using him correctly

his most common line mates?

smith-pelly and desharnais

20P and 48P respectively

not exactly powerhouse linemates

and still.. PA Parenteau notched 22P in 56GP.. basically a 0.4PPG clip.. while its not incredible.. its still a (frank) load of a lot better than many of the leafs did last year
- Dozzer

“I feel comfortable coming to a big market. I’m ready for the challenge and hopefully it gets me going. The most important things are for me to get healthy, get my confidence back and then get the confidence of my coaches. The ball is in my court.”

Parenteau is going to crash and burn. He was bought out for a reason. Name 1 player who was bought out, then had better numbers the next year? It doesn't happen.
- LeafsBlueline

Ribero, bertuzzi, prospal.


I got 3.


But yeah, that's not good %

my thoughts exactly....but they are wishful thoughts
- jimi james

if he plays top 6 mins with linemates who have some offensive punch

for instance.. a line of holland centring say Parenteau and Matthias might be a nice lil effective second line

well i am glad he has his balls

Then here is a question for all

Who makes the roster:

Taylor Beck
Josh Leivo
Casey Bailey
Sam Carrick
Zach Hyman
Nikita Soshnikov
- LeafMan

I don't know there is room for any but one. Other than beck I don't think any make it.

Leivo is the only one I can see playing more than 15 games. Anyone else, less than.
- DamnBrasKiss

Why would leivo be ahead of beck? I think he's a regular for sure.

I liked leivo last year in the preseason and then he got hurt. After the injury he wasn't very successful.

I would say that as well but Beck might to.
- LeafMan

wasn't there a bunch of Hyman hype?

There are 12 forward spots with guys they signed, leaves two open spots.

- Dozzer

ball...singular. He's here to replace Kessel, dontcha know.

Beck's top hit is "Loser"....need I say more?
- DamnBrasKiss

- LeafMan

no guarantee the guys they signed are 100% in either tho

they may have been signed to push the prospects on the cusp and see who rises to the challenge..

nothing stopping the leafs from putting these "vets" on waivers

I think he'll start as one...but don't see much in him, personally.

thank you for taking that particular ball and running with it

That's what I'm saying, at least two more forwards make the roster unless they go with 8 D.

Constant competition is what you'll see from this management group. They will keep moving guys out and bringing new ones in, giving ice to those who bust their rears each night. Similar to CGY model.

felt the need for old times sake?

8 D would surprise me

its going to be an interesting camp.. thats for sure

Beck was one I had as the extra out of the list, leaves one more spot or more if someone is let go.

thanks for the yeoman prop
- jimi james

I'm more landed gentry than yeoman

yeah i know high hopes...I'm hoping that the one guy who babcock can have the most effect on is gardiner
- jimi james

I think he will be the toughest guy to get going

But let's hope

If they keep the young guys away and go with theses guys for now then that's the 13 right there.

Wouldn't that be nice for a change!

23 man roster unless they go with 8 D, then only one extra forward.
