Greening yes. Quality person, decent depth player (line 3/4), and no cap worries.

Holland... I don't know if even he'll be qualified...

- lumlums


he should be qualified imo as he represents a low cost option who could:
1) fill in if any of the expected rookies bomb out at camp
2) could fill in 3-4 line with some offensive upside
3) SHOULD be motivated because he was SO inconsistent last season

He could be the kind of throw in as a low cost resource into combination deal to a team with CAP issues... the kind of player that a Pittsburgh, Chicago or Washington adds as roster insurance later in the season.

I'm pretty sure Uncle Lou will pull off one of his 3 for 1 team roster clearing deals if he needs to... and I don't expect a guy like Holland should cost much to keep and could be moved if necessary... but I would hesitate to throw him away.

Me too... but with Matthews, Nylander, Kadri, Bozak, (Stamkos?) ahead of him I really don't see a place for him. From what I recall he did a pretty poor job when moved to wing.

Holland played well on the wing.

Toronto has four picks (Nos. 1, 30, 31 and 57) in the first two rounds of this year’s draft. It could sacrifice No. 30 to the Blues along with Kadri and perhaps one of its minor–league rearguards (Percy, Loov, Valiev)

Superior. To remind him what he could be...

If he works hard, I could imagine him sipping Champlain out of the Stanley Cup one day.

these d-men are potentially exposed at expansion draft, therefor potential trade targets for Leafs.

Suter (NMC), Spurgeon, Brodin.

Not sure if Minnesota keeps Brodin or Dumba.

Vegas...........


I (frank)in hate Lupul. Hope we ditch his ass before next season. If he spent half as much time working on his game as he probably spends in front of the mirror, he might be less prone to injuring himself in such stupid ways.

I kinda feel the same about Bernier. I hate his haircut too. Reminds me of this kid

Because Spurgeon is a great d-man.
If he would be the 'odd man out' at Minnesota team, he should be top target for Leafs to be Rielly's partner on first d-line.

Personally I don't like Dumba too much - too much 'Phaneuf-like' (quite a bit of defensive flaws in his game; bad decision making).

Las Vegas expansion team is going to have good D and GK, but very mediocre offensive lines it seems..

If they have to cough up $500 million - they should get decent stuff. The expansion draft is only the start. I understand they get a protected #3 overall pick for three straight years - starting next year.
