2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

So with this talk of Knies and Abruzzese maybe getting on the roster if they sign an ELC, who do we think is out?

I think it is pretty unlikely those guys are going to be NHL-ready and better than the veterans we already have.  Not quite enough time for them to ratchet up to NHL speed from college speed.

I think from all accounts that Knies is NHL ready and probably a better option than whoever has played with Tavares and Nylander.

Cool. Guess we'll see him soon. He didn't sign and leave Harvard to play with the Marlies. From what I've read Abruzzese's hockey IQ is his best asset. I've seen him described as being 2 steps ahead. Hope it works out for him and us. And the Soshnikov to St Louis is where we got the 4th from.
Knies won't be far behind me thinks.

Mikheyev-Kampf-Engvall

This is the forward lineup I'd like going into the playoffs. I would have Kerfoot and Blackwell take the center defensive duties in the d-zone. Nylander-Tavares doesn't work.

How about:

Kerfoot-Matthews-Kase
Bunting-Tavares-Marner
Mikheyev-Kampf-Engvall
Blackwell-Spezza-Nylander

No. That's absurd.

Absolutely. It's like the idiots that say nobody would want him in a trade....GMs would love to have him
 
If the Leafs can keep him on a reasonable deal then great, but if he's going to get paid like a 30-goal scorer then I don't see that happening.
