Nice


Based on who we can protect, who are the top 3 candidates that are most likely to be plucked from the Leafs?

I think the guys we expose are Rychel, Froese, Leivo, Marincin and Sparks/Bibeau.

Rychel, Leivo and Froese are my top three likely picks

I expect Ryan Ellis to be traded.
Anyone here like him in a Leafs Jersey?
If yes who would u trade? Forward is most likely.

Kadri for Ellis solves issues for both teams.

tampa: j.t. brown, condra, killorn, namestnikov
stl: reaves, brodziak
nyi: chimera
la: nolan, dowd
ana: vermette, boll, cogliano, silfverberg

see leafs make a deal with any of these teams pre-trade deadline, a deal includig one/more of these players. in particular likely to happen if any of these teams happen to fall out of playoff race by then.

bolded players in particular to expose during expansion draft (if Leafs decide to protect Martin, Komarov, Bozak)

Genuinely believe Vegas dropped the ball by not calling the team the Aces.

Very fitting if with some of the players bound to be exposed.

Las Vegas will have a very decent defense and great goaltending.
Crappy FWs though as it looks right now.

They'll be decent. I don't know where this great goaltending will come from. Maybe Bishop signs there, but if he doesn't the list gets pretty mediocre. Fleury is OK but not exceptional and north of 30.

dallas should be a target for a goalie... they have both lehtonen and niemi... and they can only protect one

komarov is an interesting one.. he showed he can produce in a top 6 role but as a tight checking winger playing alongside kadri he has found himself in a role more suitable to his skill set

people think martin... but i doubt it... not when the leafs have bozak and komarov (as you mentioned) who are capable of playing top 6 minutes

Komarov looks less engaged than he has in previous years. Hopefully he starts to regain some of the bite he had. Bozak is benefitting from playing with Mariner, and if he puts up good numbers at the end of the season he may be the one on the move. Probably will be.

Komarov looked kind of off to start last season too. Maybe he's a slow starter?
