I don't know, but having depth on defense is a rare and good feeling to have. I think I would waive forwards over any of the D.

There are at least three forwards who wouldn't be missed and could be easily replaced by call ups.

Keep that D just in case.

They need guys for the left side. They’ve got more than enough on the right.

Gotta believe that Jimmy's job is on the line at this point the way Boston's been playing

I have a thing for terrible statues. I never thought I'd see one worse than Ronaldo but Miami delivered.

those are 3 possible names to be moved
Benning is another name that can be moved
it's a combination of 1.35M to 2.7M cap ish that needs to be moved

Maybe. I mean 13F /8D / 2G is the normal lineup structure, but you could also go 14 / 7 / 2 if you had very little turnover in that 6/7 spot.

My thinking was basically that now that Liljegren has freed up approximately $2m any swap out of roster positions for Hakanpaa and Dewar is doable (any player going down or out will satisfy the cost of promoting one of the other two). They currently have a 13/8/2 mix and I figured that might be how they like it - but you could be right. Benning/Hakanpaa/Benoit/Myers, ignoring handedness, gives you a similar archetype of defenseman in that #6 spot.

But yeah, assuming Benning is out - they could also demote Myers since you can be relatively confident he hasn't redeemed himself in any meaningful way and wouldn't be claimed.

You do have to wonder how many more opportunities Robertson is going to get before Treliving just cuts bait.

That is a promo for a new movie called, "Dway of the Dead: Miami Heat Apocalypse".

An unsuspecting basketball player becomes patient zero leading to a rampage of 7 foot tall zombies in southern Florida.

10 games.

1 goal.

0 assists.

Oddly enough, he's +2.

It's time that the Leafs did the right thing by giving this guy away to a crap team who can play him on the 2nd line.

He's never, ever going to earn a spot there on the Leafs.

Give him a fresh start. If he makes it, be happy for him. If he continues to demonstrate that he's not an NHLer, quietly nod your head and say you knew all along.

Is Babcock still our coach?

Craig Berube says Leafs still talking over starter decision for tomorrow (at Blues)

St. Louis is Joseph Woll's hometown & he's never played there

That truly is one of the most awful statues I've ever seen. Even Wade said "who is that guy?" during his speech

Woll did just sign a 3 year deal, so he's likely not going anywhere. He got lit up last week, but played well last night. If he doesn't get the start tomorrow, there will be other opportunities.

At this point I think Berube's main focus should be getting momentum from the team and consistency of play. For large swaths of last night's game the Leafs were all over Seattle - the Kraken didn't have time or space - and that's what you want. They did the same thing for 2 periods against Winnipeg on Monday. That's basically what championship teams play defense like - all the time.

So while I want Woll to get back to the guy who would've beaten Boston alone - scoring 2 goals and getting a shutout himself in game 7 last year - I want to see this Leaf team move more into a team that takes away time and space consistently.

They develop into that team and we can start whoever we want wherever we want!

Time for Berube to show how much of a badass he is and sit him in front of them all!
