First pre-season game of the year is tomorrow night in London. According to Paul Hendrick, this is the Leafs roster for the game:
Forwards: Ashton, Biggs, Bodie, Booth, Broll, Carrick, Findlay, Frattin, Holland, Kadri, Kontiola, Kozun, Leivo, McKegg, McLaren, McMillan, Smith, Watling and Winnik
Defencemen: Finn, Granberg, Holzer, Knodel, Mikkelson, Nilsson, Percy, Rielly and Tallinder.
Goalies: Gibson, Heeter
I don't really know if there's a max roster limit for preseason games, but I'm assuming this is just the group that will be traveling to London and some will be sitting out (not like they could fit them all on the bench even if they wanted to). Gibson and Heeter will split the net, Heeter playing against the team that didn't give him a qualifying offer in June. Interesting to see Kontiola in this group but not Nylander and Kessel given they've been playing on a line during scrimmages. But that's obviously just another reason not to read too much into line-ups this time of year.
The Flyers will be playing two games tomorrow night, so their training camp will be split in half. It's been confirmed that Lecavalier, Umberger, Voracek, Brayden Schenn, Raffl, Streit, Coburn, MacDonald and Emery will be playing in Washington, so we'll probably be seeing Luke Schenn, Simmons, Read, Couturier, Rinaldo, Rosehill, Grossman, Del Zotto, and Mason.
