As far as13th14th defencemen go Holzer's alright.
You left out Matt Finn.

McKenzie "no doubt in my mind that Ranger will be a good NHL defenseman. He's struggling now but he'll find his game"

It looks like Josh Leivo and T.J. Brennan are the #leafs scratches in Nashville. Joffrey Lupul is in despite bruised calf.
That's somewhat disappointing as I wanted to see both those Marlies in the line-up. Brennan in for Ranger seems like a no-brainer for me at this point. And while I get that Leivo was likely Lupul's replacement, I don't see the need for Ashton, Bodie, Broll, and Orr all in the line-up at the same time. Especially if Randy will continue to load up the top-6 and have Kadri play with two of those guys. But hey, that's Carlyle hockey I guess.
Kadri needs a guy who can shoot on his wing. Has Randy forgotten all those key games we won last year because our "3rd line" with Kadri and Frattin or Kadri and MacArthur outscored the opposition while the other lines were neutral with their competition?

Do we have any shooters in the system comparable to Frattin or MacArthur?
We're a week and a half into the season, and already the team's forward depth looks to be a problem.

Yeah, probably, but, at the same time, I'd like to see what Ashton can do given a 3rd line role where he's not expected to merely be filler on the face punching line.
CarltonTheBear said:Yeah, but I don't see him sticking around when we're healthy. Randy's going to want two fighters playing, I just hope one of them doesn't suck. Bodie could have been that guy. Not it's up to Broll.
Go Broll!
