Training Camp: September 16 - October 1

I haven't minded Dupuis so far, decent combination of skills.

Me too - and I find myself thinking the same about more and more of our players in the system. Encouraging.

I'm sort of unimpressed so far with him... Just plain "blah."

My expectations were less than that, so far so good as a 4th liner 13th forward.

I guess... He hasn't done anything special in my mind though. At the same time, I haven't seen anything bone-head-ish so...

He made a couple of very nice set ups, he back checks, he plays a responsible game, can PK, block shots. From what I see he's almost everything you'd want in a fourth liner.

 

[Fanatic]

He got half a dozen good scoring chances last night, basically on his own. Were you not watching the game?

Yes I have been watching. Chances are great, but you don't get any points or win games with chances.

Is getting a lot of chances indicative of a player you need to ask the whereabouts of?

It's preseason, he's coming off back to back 30 goal seasons, so really no need to ask where Phil Kessel is until the games matter.

Fixed that for you.  8)

The Maple Leafs have assigned defenceman Keith Aulie and forward Mike Zigomanis to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.

Toronto has placed the following three players on waivers: Darryl Boyce, Joey Crabb and Matt Lashoff.

The Leafs roster is now:

Goaltenders: Jonas Gustavsson, James Reimer

Defence: Cody Franson, Jake Gardiner, Carl Gunnarsson, Mike Komisarek, John-Michael Liles, Dion Phaneuf, Luke Schenn

Forwards: Colby Armstrong, Tyler Bozak, Mike Brown, Tim Connolly, Philippe Dupuis, Matt Frattin, Mikhail Grabovski, Nazem Kadri, Phil Kessel, Nikolai Kulemin, Matthew Lombardi, Joffrey Lupul, Clarke MacArthur, Colton Orr, Jay Rosehill

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Wow, Rosehill beat out Boyce for a roster spot, interesting.

Wow, Rosehill beat out Boyce for a roster spot, interesting.

It is but also is not surprising in a way simply on Boyce' camp. His nose might be bugging him too, poor guy, that has to suck after what happened last year.

 

[Tigger]

One other note, with Gardiner and Frattin the Leafs choose to use an additional 880k-ish in cap space over Boyce and Aulie.

Mr. Komisarek, get confortable in the press box!
