Being that Sandin and Liljegren are both waivers exempt, I'm thinking they're going to be up and down a bit this season.

At this moment one of them is in the top six

I'm glad. Foligno isn't worth that.

Big win to have Ritchie at 2.5 than Foligno, let alone Foligno at 3.8.

Hopefully, don’t say big win. You’re a Leafs fan and you know what happens...David (frank)ing Clarkson, that’s what happens.

I think there's room for Brooks and Sandin/Lilybust.
- Aaron_85



I don’t think Brooks see’s the ice this year with all these new signings..he’s gone from 13th-14th forward to about 16 now.

Sandin and Lilly are already there(dubas said that ) and based on the current roster.

I don't know where broons fits at this point, I like him but I don't know where he fits.

I was not aware he said that.

I do thi k a good solid Bogo 7th dman would be good.

It’ll be Sandin if it’s only 1.

Dermott over to the right.

The good news is they didn't sign him to a massive contract and expect him to come in here and be 'the guy'

The fact we don't have Foligno on the books for 3.8 mil is enou for a win.

Again, hopefully.

I like Foligno but glad we didn’t sign him....just because. I’ll decide on Ritchie once he plays 10-20 games

( probably more like 1 game )

You've got to think one of Soup or 🦒 is not on this team when training camp starts.

I'm also a bit nervous about our 3rd pair. Running Sandin/Dermott out there is not going to be a good look.

- mjones242



you still need to play them to see if they are NHL material

Yeah I like Foligno but you have a guy in Ritchie who can play a similar game. For less and is younger with the extra year.

Foligno for 3.8 million you run the risk of his injuries catching up to him. I mean I'd still take him if he was like 2 million for the year but at nearly double? Pass.

I think Foligno has better defensive chops

I think they’d ship Engvall before Mikey...Engvall would be 13th or traded...not even sure where we’re going to fit everyone we signed. Brooks will be AHL I would think.

Yep. At any given moment, I expect one of Sandin or Lilibust to be in the lineup. I'm just not happy that they'll be platooning with Cornrow Dermott.

I think he's definitely going to see ice-time. He's not waivers exempt and he probably doesn't clear unless they can sneak him down at the end of training camp.

He comes in when there's a couple of forward injuries I think.

I think Dubas likes Keefe go have a bit more flexibility with the lineup. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see I few more pieces moved around.

Ritchie is the type of player that we will all love once every 10 games and always ask "what if."

He's going to score 20-25 goals which is great value for 2.5M and he adds a nice physical dimension that this team has lacked.

Like Nylander before he became Nylander. Maybe, once he has been anointed in the holy waters of the Maple Leafs, it all changes for Ritchie and “what if” becomes “what is and what evermore shall be”.

Or maybe he’s a bust.

They did play as a pair for the Marlies so they are accustom to each other.
Yeah it's a risk playing two rookies together like that.
