Leivo-Kadri-Brown
Johnsson-Lindholm-Kapanen
Rielly-Hainsey

To:
Kapanen-Tavares-Marner
Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Moore
Timashov-Spezza-Gauthier
Shore
Rielly-Ceci
Muzzin-Barrie

Guys, our longest tenured forwards are:
Nylander, Kapanen, and Hyman. They were all recalled by the Leafs on Feb 29, 2016.
As is well know, only Rielly pre-dates the tank year. Only him and Marincin were on the roster at the start of that year.
What a drastic change.
