I understand what you're saying disco, but they are about to face a numbers crunch when guys get healthy and if they are intent on retaining as many as possible it likely means going back to a sub-optimal roster.

Only Kapanen, Dermott and Borgman are waiver exempt, who are you sending down?

Who are you willing to lose on waivers?

Just saying keep everyone isn't realistic.

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
JVR-Bozak-Brown
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Komarov-Moore-Kapanen
Martin-Soshnikov-Leivo

Rielly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Borgman-Carrick
Dermott-Polak

Andersen
McBackup

Can Robidas Island be of any help to guys like Martin and Polak?
 
I doubt it Zee, but I guess you never know.

Leafs just announced that Soshnikov has been assigned to the Marlies on a conditioning stint, so that buys a little time on him.

I love how they can get away with the old "conditioning stint" trick.  They keep a guy sitting for so long that suddenly his condition is bad and he needs a stint.  I thought that was reserved for guys coming off injuries or some such.

Sosh has been dealing with injury for a while apparently, lower body I think. How much of that is legit and how much is as you allude to, roster manipulation, I dunno.

I'm sure the medical team makes it all look legit anyway.

I like your style.  Martin for Barzal would get it done for me.

They need a goalie, I'd throw in Sparks too I guess.

I would keep Sparks... he is THE goalie in the AHL righ now. He can be an improove ouver McBackup next season
 
I was mildly peeved to see Grabner not resigned here. And then pissed when we signed Martin. And then super pissed when it was revealed Grabner was not pursued to spare a roster spot for Martin ( although it was phrased as a spot for the kids )
