    How does the depth chart for defense even look at this point? Like, you’ve got your Top 6 of:

    Rielly, Tanev, Benoit, McCabe, OEL, Liljegren

    Hakanpaa may or may not be a Leaf and/or a real person

    Then where’s it go from there? Is Timmins still a guy in our system? Is Rifai after him? What about those depth guys just signed? What about other Marlies guys like Niemala?

    No risk deal. A guy who (I assume) likes Toronto gets to stay here, we can call him up in a pinch if we need him, the cap hit is fully buriabke and meaningless, and if we absolutely need that contract slot, guys like this get moved all the time with no difficulty.
