The leafs honestly have an embarrassment of riches at forward. When Matthew's returns and nylander signs what happens? Do you put kapanen down to the third line? Then what? Johnsson, Leivo, Ennis, lindholm, connor brown, gauthier. One of those gets sent to the AHL? Or two? There are guys there that would play in most teams too 6.

Getting scoring from not only depth players, but call ups, is a real treat.

- prock

Yes.
This will be what makes the leafs hard to stop.

Goat and Brown out of the lineup, Goat and Marincin waived.

Johnsson* - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - JT - Mitch
Marleau - Naz - Kap
Leivo - Lindholm - Ennis

Gardiner - Rielly
Dermott - Zaitsev
Hainous - Oz



*I'd be tempted to put Kap here, but go with Johnsson to keep them both on their strong wings and spread out the talent a bit.

Gauthier gone for sure. Brown should sit for a bit. Not on his game right now for sure. Doubt Babcock would hear tell of it though.

Marner should fetch $9 mil
That would be taking a discount as he’s the play driver in this team

- BreathLeafs2015



or take JvR type contract?

Honestly he doesn;t... but he's been outplayed by Ennis and Leivo. Kap/Hyman and JT/Marner can take up the PK duties, with Johnsson in as needed.

No way Babcock sits Brown over Johnsson.
and rightfully so.

Ennis
Johnsson
Leivo

all scratched before Brown.

Goat will get sent down for sure.

Not sure about the other. Probably Ennis or Leivo, but I'd probably prefer if it was Brown tbh. I used to rather like the guy, but his offence seems to have died and the only other thing he might be useful for is the pk? Probably others that can handle that.

I could see that too. Honestly, as long as you keep Matty/Bill, JT/Mitch and Naz/Kap together you can plus in any guy on the left and do just fine...
