Leaf Rumours

I'd seriously conisder making a Komiserak for Penner swap. Edmonton badly needs a veteran defensive defencemen, and we desperately need a big bodied scoring winger. Penner may not run guys over on the ice but he can score goals and the dude isnt allergic to the net, plus he can get you 25-30 goals. It's win win.

Joey Crabb has been recalled from the Marlies. Appears as though Crabb will start on a line with Grabovski and Kulemin.
 
MacArthur is playing with Kadri & Kessel tonight... the Star article from yesterday had Caputi with Grabovski & Kulemin, so looks like he's in for Luca
 
Its kind of funny that the Marlies also have no one who can score that we can bring up, but a good D and great goaltending.
 
Caputi is a bust. He has no talent to speak of. All that was expected of him was some solid net presence and boards play, and he can't even provide that. Sad. Other than Kadri, the cupboard is looking bare indeed.
 
If it wasn't for being able to sign young free agent prospects we wouldn't even have a cupboard.

Unfortunately though, we won't be able to rely on signing free agents like that all the time to cover our ass for no drafting success.
 
The Cupboard is actually stocked full.

We have the deepest system of prospects I've ever seen the Leafs have, by a good margin.

The leafs have tremendous depth in goal in terms of prospects, several defensive defencmen prospects, followed up by 3rd and 4th line pluggers. Our only elite prospect in terms of actual offensive skill is Kadri.

This is what Wilson calls shaking up the lines?

Breaks up our best line and puts Crabb on it?

Wilson's desperate, were not scoring any goals, and were on pace to be shutout the most times in league history. I do question a lot of the guy's coaching tactics, but in this case he gets a pass. Burke isnt making any deals to help improve this team, so Wilson has to do whatever it takes to get the maximum production out of the players he does have on the roster.
 
Most teams only have a single offensive prospect that possesses what could be considered elite skill. What separates most organizations is their elite skill, there's no denying that, but the Leafs positional depth and number of second and third-line candidates is very strong..

Moreover, the Leafs organizational-depth prospect-wise in goaltending is pretty unmatched around the league if you check most depth charts.
