I really don't get making significant changes to 3 of your 4 lines all because your 4C got injured. Like I've criticized Kampf's contract as much as anyone but I don't think it's fair to say that he's not a NHL player. And heck as a 5C he's definitely above average. Can't really think of a...

I got another year of Sportsnet+ right before the price increase went in. Still gotta use a VPN to get around the blacked out games (which is getting a little harder to do as someone don't work anymore) but I should be set for the season. Big bonus to have the Jays on there too of course right...

A lot of half decent goalies on the list if the Leafs wanted to pluck someone off here to cover for Woll while he's away. Especially if the team has an idea that his return isn't imminent.

Yeah I don't disagree there. I'm almost hoping the Laughton injury gives them an excuse to change their mind on Cowan.

Well that's a weird one considering the Laughton news. They might just be waiving him with a pretty good idea that he'll clear just for the roster flexibility.

Well, that's a bummer. It looked like we were getting a different Laughton this season. Presumably this just means Kampf slides back into the 4C spot. I wonder if there's any dominos with that though. Cowan at 4RW likely doesn't work quite as well in that case.

The top 11 forwards and 6 defence were pretty much set in stone from the get go. Cowan likely getting that final line-up spot probably qualifies as a little bit of a surprise but yeah in general a quiet camp.

2nd last preseason game of the year. Expect a pretty close to full NHL line-up with this being the final home preseason game though. Roster still TBD.

Balls of steel on this guy for turning down $16mil x 8 earlier.

I thought we'd at least wait a week into the season before reopening the debate.

I don't doubt that Cowan has the ability to fill that role, he might even legit be the best option for 4RW right now. I'm just not sure how to juggle that and what's best for his personal development. Regardless it's nice to see a better training camp performance out of him this year.

Barring a last minute change of heart, sure seems like Cowan is going to be making the team for game 1. Not sure how I feel about that. He's no doubt had a good camp but I still think playing top all-situations minutes with the Marlies even for a few months would be better than starting your pro...

I had some mild concerns about a Stolarz extension considering his age, injury history, and lack of experience. But at this price, especially with where the cap is going, all that goes away. This feels pretty steal-y.

One guy on the cusp I've been a little curious about is Benning. If he could get back to how he was playing a few years ago he's got the ability to beat out Myers for the 7D spot. This makes it look like Berube's giving him a shot.

Preseason game #4 tonight. Expect a fairly NHL-heavy line-up for the Leafs in this one, including the likely preseason debut of Max Domi on the top line.
