by training camp is unlikely, especially due to reports that Babcock wants the chance to work with Dion Phaneuf. Again, we’ll assume for this scenario that they all get moved and no NHL players come back in those deals.
The Leafs resigned AHL puck moving ace TJ Brennan to a one-way deal and he will likely get a chance to crack the NHL roster and help Rielly and Gardiner run the power play. Tim Erixon is an inexpensive depth No.7/8 guy and new comer Martin Marincin is beloved by advanced stats guys and most Edmonton fans, although he never quite managed to crack the Edmonton roster, he will be given every chance to make the Leafs.
Stuart Percy won a spot out of training camp last year and looked like a seasoned pro for the first month, but faded quickly. For arguments sake we’ll give Marincin and Percy the No.5/6 jobs and Erixon the No.7 job as an injury replacement, this leaves holes on the top pairing and 2nd pairing.
