With cap room available and players in play, this depth chart is likely to have a shelf life of 3 to 7 days. Look for Burkie to add a centre and a winger, and then take his time reviewing the experienced goalies on the market.
Forwards
Kessel
Kulemin
Grabovski
Lupul
Armstrong
Kadri
Bozak
Frattin
Orr
Free Agents that may come back:
Boyce
Crabb
Brent
Rosehill
(If MacArthur re-signs, he'll get 1st crack at his 2nd line spot, however, after the season he just had, other teams are likely to offer him more money and a longer term than Toronto)
On the Farm:
Joe Colborne
Tyler Brenner
Greg McKegg
Jerry D'Amigo
Tyler Biggs
Bradley Ross
Josh Nicholls
Gregg Scott
Luca Caputi
Defence
Aulie / Phaneuf
Liles / Schenn
Gunnarsson / Komisarek
Lashoff
On the farm:
Simon Gysbers
Korbinian Holzer
Jake Gardiner
Jesse Blacker
Stuart Percy
Goalies
James Reimer
Jussi Rynas
Ben Scrivens
Mark Owuya*
Most would have Mark ranked fourth, however I believe he has a shot to be Reimer's backup, if a vet doesn't come in via trade or free agency. If a veteran netminder does land, the Marls may start the year with 3 goalies.
Any of Owuya, Scrivens of Rynas could earn the backup spot in camp, but if Optimus Reim falters or gets injured, are these other guys ready to carry the Leafs into the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs? We need to go strong from October to January this year to play our way into contention in a strong division, so the situation needs to be examined closely, right from the get-go.
