Yeah, lose Phaneuf and Bozak from there and, wow.... pain.
A lot of you guys know more about the Marlies than I do, but here is a proposed team makeup...seems a fair few defensemen there, and I didn't include a Donaghey (mainly because I have no idea who he is).Are some of these guys not playing in the 'A' this year?Leivo - Hyman - NylanderKapanen - Verhaegue - BrownLeipsik - Gauthier - SoshnikovCarrick - Rupert - DevaneFrattin, Percy - FinnLoov - ValievNilsson - BrennenFinn - Harrington - GranbergGibsonBibeauSparks
I was trying to put together some kind of Marlies depth chart too. It's obviously pretty difficult since we have no idea which of these guys could be on the Leafs or not. This was the depth chart I put together (shown as lines just for convenience):Leivo-Nylander-BrownLeipsic-Froese-KapanenSoshnikov-Gauthier-FrattinHyman-Verhaeghe-BaileyRupert-Rupert-Carrick-DevaneThere's likely a few other guys on AHL contracts that I might be missing. But as herman says Froese is one who has definitely earned a place on that roster.Now, those are all of the non-legit NHL forwards that the Leafs have signed. Toronto currently has 11 legit NHL forwards on the roster, so there's room for 2-3 more on the team. Assuming the Leafs keep some of the younger guys in the AHL for another year the candidates for those spots will probably be Frattin, Leivo, Hyman, and Bailey. Depending on how much room there is on the team I would expect Devane to go up and down from the ECHL. In fact that Leafs have talked quite a bit about wanting to see their ECHL team more in developing players so I would actually expect them to send a Carter Verhaeghe and maybe even Gauthier down there for stretches as well. Especially Verhaeghe, since he'll likely be in tough to get many minutes on the Marlies with the depth that they have.
Do you know which ones have to be waived to go down?

Hyman and Bailey just signed so they're still exempt from waivers. I believe that Leivo is too for one more season. Frattin would have to pass through waivers to go down.

Fwiw Dubas specifically said Spaling would be playing centre with the Leafs, for those NHL rosters.

Or it could mean Spaling/Arcobello is seen as the 13th forward going ahead.
Seeing line combinations in July hurts my spleen.
