Bold Prediction #2: Toronto will make the playoffs as a Wild Card after struggling without Marner.

Swap AlJo and Chiarot.

You don't think FLA will coast in the regular season? I think they squeak in and wreck shop in the playoffs.

1. Florida - might as well call the season now. Another cup for the cats. 2. Tampa 3. Toronto 4. Montreal 5. Detroit 6. Ottawa 7. Boston 8. Buffalo Hot take = Finnie scores 50+ pts

Just to be clear... It doesn't appear to me that Holl and Gus have actually left the team. It appears this was a paper transaction... probably in order to: 1. Create roster spots for MBN and ASP for a 9 game tryout for each 2. Create cap relief. By burying those contracts Steve gets a little extra acrued cap. Steve was probably going to make this move regardless of how MBN and ASP played because of reason 2. The extra roster spots this created is a bonus. And with JVR out as well, might as well see what our top 3 rookies can do through 9 games and then reassess. Gus and Holl will prolly get reactivated if Steve decides to send any of these 3 down. That will obviously depend on how they play, and also how Todd plays them. If the rookies end up with low minutes at all I can see SY sending em down just to get more gametime for a while.

He's listed as "out" but "not injury related". His wife had twin boys a few weeks ago, and he said that one of the boys had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks after the birth. Which is why we havent seen much of him, and I'm guessing this is also why he's now out again. Hope his son's okay.

if 4th in the division gets us into playoffs WITH all the young blood inserted I would be ecstatic for the season. I think the schedule up front gives Todd a way t gauge push the buttons and get things rolling in the right direction. My worry is the players that go to the Olympics , 4 nations killed our mojo last year.

They should cancel the Feds retirement ceremony and give Finnie 91
