I would swap Frattin in for Kulemin's spot.

Yep, stone hands Kulemin doesn't deserve 2nd line duty at all.

The fact we have a $1.5 million dollar 1st line center makes up for it though.

That's just it. They couldn't assume Bozak would do what he's done in the last month or so. Connolly is more or less a semi - insurance policy for 2 seasons.... would fill the 1st line role if nobody else does and bides time for Kadri and Colborne to develop.
Who knows how things can change the rest of the way. If nothing else, Bozak has to show for more than 6 weeks that he's capable of holding his own as the 1st line centre consistently.

Crabb to the 4th line LW, Frattin to 3rd line LW and Armstrong to RW where he normally plays.
Mac-Grabbo-Kulemin - is what the line is. Still perplexed as to why Mac and Kulemin switched wings from last year and they haven't been switched back.

I want to see Grabbo, Crabbo, and Frabbo.

At the same time I can't believe nobody is acknowledging his nearly PPG pace right now. He seems to be worth $4.5 right now.

I would like to see what was being talked about in presaeason
Lupul-Connolly-Kessel
Kulemin-Grabovski-MacArthur
Frattin-Bozak-Armstrong
Crabb-Steckel-Dupuis
With the pairings on D working out,
Phaneuf-Gunnersson
Gardiner-Scheen
Franson-Liles
this could be our fullest lineup with Reimer starting. This is what iw was supposed to look like, this is finally really exciting. Near the top and weve been hurt. Go Leafs Go!!

Because, his numbers look better, obviously.

I suspect we'll see Connolly and MacArthur together - they've had great chemistry together. Grabovski stays with Kulemin and probably Frattin - though, the Connolly-MacArthur pairing could certainly use a big-body riding shotgun with them.

Maybe, but, something makes me think he'll be a better fit with Grabovski and Kulemin.

Can they just release Colton Orr? Maybe someone would take a flyer on him? Just seems a waste to make him a helathy scratch game after game. There seems to be no future in TO for him
