It's Feschuk. He obviously got his information by calling Steve Spott's mother.

Kessel probably said something similar to what is being reported. Why does Kessel have to agree 100% with some rookie Asst coach? I bet he disagreed with Spott, and then Spott didn't keep his mouth shut and blabbed to these other no-body coaches. I'm sure Spott is having a nice talk with MLSE right now.

I imagine the "default" roster going into camp looks like this--
JvR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Santorelli
Booth - Holland - Clarkson
Komarov - Kontiola - Winnik
Robidas - Phaneuf
Gards - Franson
Reilly - Polak
With potential training camp developments including:
--Leivo or Frattin have awesome camp, take a wing spot. Santorelli to centre, Kontiola bumped
--Leivo AND Frattin have great camps, Kontiola and another (Booth?) bumped (or, Lupul traded)
--Gardiner has great camp, meshes with Pha9, they become top pair
--some Marlie defenceman has great camp, Tallinder looks fit for 7th D, Franson traded
So my totally unscientific hunch is that opening day looks like:
JvR - Boz - Kess
Lup - Kad - Booth
Leivo - Holland - Clarkson
Komarov - Santo - Winnik
Kontiola
Gards - Pha9
Reilly - Robidas
Franson - Polak
Tallinder
With Lupul/Franson traded to Dallas at some point.

Lupul - Kadri - Santorelli
Booth - Holland - Clarkson
Komarov - Kontiola - Winnik
Robidas - Phaneuf
Gards - Franson

And why would we want to trade Lupul and Franson for?

And today Kessel says he hasn't spoken to Spott about systems.
Also had a nice first question about whether he hates his coach.
Feschuk at work again.

Pretty much everyone in the organization laughed it off today as garbage.
And Cox and Simmons had negative comments about the article.

I'm not sure, just a gut feeling that the Leafs will want to pull a fairly big move, and those are likely pieces to be involved.

Wait, that has Feschuk who asked that question?

A nice little scrum Kessel had with the media. He was pretty candid about his summers and other things. Some nice questions. Except for Paul Hendrick who just had to throw in a generic leading question here and there.

To be fair that question was asked with the reporters tongue firmly placed in his cheek. Everyone had a bit of a chuckle.
The two groups for practices/scrimmages:
No word yet on why Bozak and Clarkson are absent, but injury is the assumption.

There's not really much happening today, just on-ice testing. Tomorrow is when they start actual practices. But pretty much all the beat reporters are tweeting what's going on.
