what are the Leafs missing?

Habs will sit Price.....plus Shaw and Mitchel (not a huge impact).

Similar fourth line things. Missing Moore and it's unclear if Rosen will be the 6th d. Other than that it's the real deal.

his sister is "working" the Habs management to make sure he stays in the line up

Or what Galchenyuk has done right.

Pickings were scarse...10th round of a 14 team draft. There is Galchenyuk....even the Habs fans I draft with hadn't taken him to this point. I did. And even at that low a pick, I ask myself....why??

Oh well, at least he is Centre AND LW viable.

sigh....

Not sure what Scher-bust would land in a trade. He's most likely a throw in for another deal instead of a deal on it's own.

Julien likes to play his 4th line so if it means a better 4th line than last season, fine.

Then again, if the team keeps struggling Julien will have to shuffle the lines anyway.

So, translation:
You're going to lose your hockey pool.

That about sum it up?

This.

I was really hoping a full summer of training and getting back into shape would erase his second half of last season.

He has looked terrible so far.
