Leaf Rumours

The Leafs current roster, minus Kadri, Versteeg, Armstrong, Komisarek went 13-10-3 after the trades.

It isn't the end of the world.

And I don't understand why people are feeling sorry for Kaberle. He's the happiest guy in the world right now. He got his wish, he's staying.
 
Still a lot of junk on this roster. But hey, they might come out of the gate roaring and get some steam, knowing they have some goaltending this year.
 
John Mitchell isn't a lock to make the team.

The Leafs, like every other NHL team, has young, cheap, depth players that will compete for playing time. John Mitchell is one of these guys.

Fair enough, i just wouldn't want him in my top or bottom 6 unless it's in an emergency basis. The kid has a head full of stones.

Personally i expect Burke to go into training camp with the roster as is. Maybe, a UFA forward signing like Patrick O'Sullivan or Raffi Torres for a ham sandwich but i expect him to keep his defense in tact. He loves his guys and he loves depth.
 
Getting O'Sullivan would be a pretty smart signing IMO, he could fill a need on the top 2 lines if he can get his head right.
 
Junk? Mitchell, Lebda, Beauchemin, Komisarek, Armstrong, Orr to start, Schenn still looking very AHL. Call that harsh, but I consider those players to be very flawed. That is a lot of junk/baggage.

Teeds, you redefine the term "beating a dead horse"
 
I don't see how we keep the defence and go into camp as we are. Not if Burke wants to make the playoffs this year. Burke's due on the FAN at 4:20 today. I won't be able to listen but I'm sure someone will post a recap here.

He has an advantage because he's been a regular and he has produced at a 3rd line rate already, but the Leafs have a lot guys, especially young guys who can fill 3rd/4th line roles if he doesn't play well.

Mitchell might produce like a 3rd liner, but is one of the worst defensive forwards I have ever seen and dumber than a post.

He would have no spot on my team, let alone for 700K
