2018-19 Toronto Maple Leafs - General Discussion

If they're going to super stack a PP1, I think it would make sense to spin up the fourth line wingers (Johnsson, Kapanen) on PP2 as they won't be getting much 5v5 time (probably not much PP time either, given who are being rolled out first).

My guess is Johnsson gets PP minutes and Kapanen gets PK minutes (I'm expecting Hyman-Brown and Lindholm-Kapanen to be the primary PKers, with Tavares-Marner coming out at the end).

You know what's gonna rule?  End of PK Tavares-Marner are already out there.... and the guy coming out of the box gets subbed for Kadri for a short spin at 5v5.... then comes the Matthews line to restart the 5v5 rotation.

Why are my pants feeling tight?

Well, unless Max Domi drops Matthews into Concussion Hell in Game One.  At least we still have Martin to

You're operating under the rash assumption that PP1 will fail to score, allowing PP2 to even take the ice...

Interesting answer regarding the defensemen at the bottom of the lineup from that interview:

With our defense, it is certainly a question that people bring up all the time and I always was more bullish about it because I?d watched a lot of these players that weren?t household names or had played for the Marlies. We knew they were on their way. Now that they are here and you see a Travis Dermott ? he?s been injured, but we know he is good. Igor Ozhiganov comes over and he has played very well for the first stretch. Justin Holl has played well. Marincin has played well. Calle Rosen has played excellent. You?ve got Connor Carrick in the mix.

I think we?ve got three more games here. You?re not going to base it all on how they play in these three games, but they are going to help us make our decision for who stays and who goes. When it comes to the seventh guy, if he is not waiver eligible, then you can have him go and play with the Marlies. And then we?ll see how guys make their way through the season and we can always make a change then.

Noticed that Carrick looks like an odd man out, and Borgman wasn't even mentioned.

The biggest thing I noticed there is (paraphrasing) if you aren't in the top 6 and you are waiver exempt, you will probably be on the Marlies. 

Waiver-eligible:
Carrick
Holl
Marincin

Waiver-exempt:
Dermott
Borgman
Rosen
Ozhiganov

As of right now, it seems as though Rosen and Ozhiganov have the upper hand for the bottom pair- but that is with Dermott injured.  So Borgman definitely goes down.  Question is, who else do you send through waivers?  Who do you think gets through and who do you think gets claimed?  I think an argument can be made that all three of the guys listed as waiver-eligible run the risk of getting claimed.

Toronto comes in #3 (behind some order of Nashville and Tampa).

I think of the players who'd require waivers to be sent down, Carrick is the only one you'd care about losing. No offence to Holl or Marncin, but for them, they'd probably be better off catching on with another team.

Lol, I hate to say it, but if one is using a "neutral zone stick check" stat to refute a narrative about being soft, I'm not sure it'll move the needle much.

Rosen has been absolute trash. Ditto Marincin and Carrick.
