  1. You know at least on paper you're in good shape when you are debating if Kerfoot should be a 3rd line winger.

  2. Thornton is a better faceoff man. It'd make some sense for Thornton to slot in for the draws. But it's a third line. So if it's going to be defensively responsible as well as chip in some points then Kerfoot should be the center. He has more of that last guy up the ice first guy back mentality and is more of a fore and back checker than Thornton has ever been. The two of them together give you a good mix of offense and defense it could be an entirely effective line in any situation and that's very appealing.

  3. Kerfoot and mouth disease! 54 years and counting! Looking forward to the Laffs breaking the record and making it 55 winless years! Golf Leafs Golf! 🙂

  4. I hear Engval can be sent down without waivers. Here's how I would like to try the bottom 6:
    Vesey -Kerfoot-Simmonds
    Robertson -Thorton -Barabanov
    Would have Spezza as the 13th skater, just not crazy about him and Thorton at the same time mainly due to speed. Think Jumbo would be an awesome mentor for those 2 rookies and they could really be a scoring threat as well.

  5. Slight correction gents… Marner does take faceoffs when killing penalties and in other specific situaitons (for both Babcock and Keefe). Two centres'ish, on each line. 😉

  6. Soup(6'4) Engvall(6'6) Korshkov(6'4) they are the 2nd tier stars on this team don't waste their careers. All have exceptional hands, speed, size and they are YOUNG. Play Sandin and Lilligren. As alway remember Reilly=Early playoff exit.

  7. Who remembers when our second best centerman was Nik Antropov aside from Sundin? We have come a loooooong way and I am loving where we are now!!!

  8. I swear Kerfoot couldn’t win a faceoff in the playoffs.Yes please get him off the draws.
