Very nice.  Also, the pants they will wear with this jersey will have a white stripe down the thigh.

Very nice, indeed.  A good blend of past and present, classically done.

Carlton the Bear looks cute!
 
I want one but who?...  :-\ I currently have one from the "TML" days with my surna.e and "00" on the back ala Clark Griswold but not sure I need another like that.

Grabovski ranks 13th out of the more than 140 forwards valued:

Mikhail Grabovski
Salary: $2.85 million
Points: 58
Normalized Points: 62
Time on Ice: 1,568 minutes
Plus/Minus: 14
Salary Rank: 57 out of 148 eligible players.
Point rank: 44 out of 148 eligible players.
Time on Ice rank: 28 out of 148 eligible players.
Plus/Minus: 27 out of 148 eligible players

Math: (57*.2) + (44*.267) + (29*.267) + (27*.267) = 37.80

Mikhail Grabovski received 37.80 points which ranked him No. 12 most valuable out of 148 players.

Ben Scrivens was sent to the Marlies today, when is the next round of cuts? Tomorrow?

That's what Wilson said after the last game last night. His reasoning was that they couldn't waive anyone on a Sunday (I think they can but the teams get an extra day to mull it over which wisely the Leafs don't want to give any team).

Makes sense. Who would need to be waived? Crabb, and? I can't even remember who is left in camp...

Lashoff and Rosehill would need to go through waivers to be sent down.

Barring a glut of defensemen going on waivers, I think Lashoff is an Oiler when he gets waived. 
 
Here's a decent Mirtle article on the final roster decisions
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/leafs-final-cuts-loom/article2187997/

With Scrivens sent down, goal is set with Reimer & Gustavsson.

On defence, six veterans in Phaneuf, Schenn, Liles, Franson, Gunnarsson and Komisarek are all staying, barring a trade (more on that later).

I suspect only one of these:
Defencemen on bubble: Aulie, Gardiner and Lashoff
stays. My guess would be Gardiner. the experiment with Liles & Phaneuf struck me as exploring options not Aulie who didn't have a great camp.

With Lomdardi in the mix, the forwards are interesting:
including MacArthur and Kadri, there are 12 players in the "for sure" side of things: Armstrong, Bozak, Brown, Connolly, Grabovski, Kadri (injured), Kessel, Kulemin, Lombardi, Lupul, MacArthur and Orr.

Kadri will be on the IR (or maybe ultimately LTIR). So there are two openings that will be filled from this group:
Forwards on bubble: Boyce, Crabb, Dupuis, Frattin, Rosehill and Zigomanis

I think Rosehill, Crabb are likely to be Marlies bound. Orr fills Rosehill's role.

Zigomanis has already cleared waivers but his faceoff performance last night might be giving them second thoughts because Grabbo, Connolly, Lombardi &  Boyce are not strong on the draw - only Bozak is.

Frattin is waiver exempt but surely he played well enough to stick otherwise.

Some decisions might get delayed until they're sure Connolly & Bozak will play Thursday. It might be Frattin, Dupuis, Boyce & Zigomanis surviving until they find out the status of Connolly & Bozak.

That's my guess.

If that happens, well good for him, he deserves the shot.  We have far too much depth here in TO and on the farm to worry about the loss of Lashoff.

While that may be true, I also get the feeling that the Gardiner-Komisarek pairing was an indication of where they were considering using Gardiner, and seeing how much of a mess they were defensively (and both equally to blame for the poor defensive play of the pairing), it really would not shock me if that altered their thinking about him and ends up with him in the AHL to work on the flaws in his defensive game.

Agree with the first part, disagree with the second.  You can't have too much depth on D.  Lashoff would be a capable call-up when injuries hit the back end.
 
Aulie and Zigomanis go to the Marlies along with Crabb, Boyce, and Lashoff who have to clear waivers.

Gardiner sticks with the club for now.  Interesting.

I'm not a fan of keeping two completely useless players in Rosehill and Orr on the roster, I think that is a huge mistake and it only serves to tire out the top 3 lines who have to play more minutes because you can't play Rosehill/Orr more than 6-7 minutes a game at the best of times.

Lupul - Connolly - Kessel
Kulemin - Grabovski - MacArthur (Frattin)
Frattin (Brown) - Bozak - Armstrong
Rosehill/Lombardi - Dupuis - Orr/Brown

Phaneuf - Liles
Gunnarsson - Schenn
Gardiner - Komisarek
