Gonna be D'Amigo or Komarov.
- Feeling Glucky?

I wanted to sign Winnik to be our 4th line LW.

But someone said Komarov will go back to Russia if he doesn't make it. So it might as well be him.


Besides, we need an bumhole in the lineup.


Just think in 5 years.

and where's Orr now?

between to the 2 of them, Orr comes back first
- Big_Lightnin

Bobby Orr? He plays for Moosejaw and participated in our prospect camp, we drafted him 5th overall

and to this we say - it's July (frank)ing 5th. Let's just assume there will be some manner of roster activity between now and the end of camp...
- Big_Lightnin

Absolutely ....that's why I started with the word "today".

I've made those assumptions for the last 7 years and never been wrong.

*removes tongue from cheek.

I think I'd die if Steckel didn't make the team, or was forced on the wing... or... GOD FORBID, McClement didn't get to be center!!! Imagine, not giving a guy a job because somebody else is better than him? That's just not fair to the poor millionaire.
- Feeling Glucky?

Well, you're just in luck.

Our bottom 6 centers are going to be McClement and Steckel.

large problem was also that the 4th line was playing a 3rd line role and getting 3rd line minutes - not a good thing.
- Big_Lightnin

It's okay. We have McClement now. Nothing to worry about.

Biggs will be on our 2nd line with Frattin and Colborne

Bobby Orr? He plays for Moosejaw and participated in our prospect camp, we drafted him 5th overall
- peddy-93

did you see any of the scrimmage yesterday? He had a couple rushes where he just ghosted everybody - kid can fly.

Call now and a get a free knee injury. Limited while supplies last. Some restrictions may apply. Physical play and toughness not included.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious.

I see Ross being the bastard you want to put with 2 skill guys on the 2nd line... but we'll see how he does.

say...

JVR/Frattin-McKegg-Ross in 3 years.

Do you really see McKegg as a center?

Thanks UG.

What is the reason we don't try Kessel at center?

- ThePresident

Same reason why we didn't put Kaberle at C.

Some things are just a no.

Do you really see McKegg as a center?
- Feeling Glucky?

yes, and I'm staying that way until they prove otherwise.

honestly, given the Leafs problems at center, maybe we should stop moving all these drafts picks to wing, and work more with them on developing as centers.

Kadri fine, cause he likes to work from the half boards anyway, but then so did Mats.

but McKegg's go the defensive presence of a center, and plays the full ice. Just depends on how much they can improve his skating

I honestly can't tell if you're serious.
- Feeling Glucky?

Not too sure.

But in all seriousness, those 2 will most likely be our 3c and 4c.


Carlyle has basically confirmed McClement will be our shutdown/defensive 3rd line guy.

Meaning the 4th line position is Steckels.

What is the reason we don't try Kessel at center?
- ThePresident

too soft, not enough attention to detail (esp on the defensive end), not good on faceoffs, he's best suited on the right wing as a sniper with very under-rated passing abilities

no i didnt, where the (frank) can you see them?
- peddy-93

LEafsTV is airing them on show "Leafs Today". 1st airing is 6pm, then repeated right away, then 50 more times throughout the day.

don't see it online though so no luck.

What is the reason we don't try Kessel at center?
- ThePresident

Because we have van Riemsdyk. Problems at center are a thing of the past.

Same reason why we didn't put Kaberle at C.

Some things are just a no.
- jbold

But he was originally a center.

Thank god we didn't get Galchenyuk!
- Feeling Glucky?

didn't Reilly break his leg too?
