Neither of them stood out to be honest.. I thought Spezza would win the job, because he was in the NHL last year.. Shore was out in Russia

Load management.

I think Vegas is the best team in the West but I didn't want to pick them.

So I went with a team I think would be close.

I remember rooting against Vegas so hard in the Final that year. No expansion team should win or be in contention this early. Pay your (frank)ing dues!

To me Spezza was much better than Shore in pre season.

I’m not sure, maybe there is something from camp and in the locker room that had Shore deserve the nod.
- Santo_44

I just wonder if he's not doing some little details that he's been asked to do, things we don't pick up in games that would fly under the radar.

I used to like it when the beat reporters would sit close enough to listen in on practice, but nowadays, they post their obligatory "Leafs lineup at practice" tweet and go back to their story drafts and Starbucks.

If Grubuaer is the real deal they'll be very tough to beat.If

Pretty much my thoughts.

Are you Shore?
- bixll

Very Shore.

EK is PISSED about Spezza.

Although as soon as I saw Shore there I knew it wreaked of Babcock. Can't wait to see our 3rd/4th lines playing 18min a night.

Link?

The Leafs will win nothing until they get rid of Babcock IMO.

Your mom is an expert at managing my load. Leafs should hire her.

Cody Glass making the team is interesting. Probably the least known "Top Prospect" out there.

Exactly why I still don't want to put them in the Finals.

The most consistent one is probably Gibson. The guy just plays for a junk team.

most consistent is andersen!

that's about as consistent as it gets

gibson is for sure better though lol. bob and vasilevskiy have been decently consistent too.

He's a stud...curious if he keeps the 2nd line center/1st PP position. I might need to pick him up

Not the metric I was going by, but I get your point. If you look at his goals saved about expected or whatever the (frank) that stat is, he's a freak of nature.

Babcock is 100% getting fired this season.

Dubas goes and gets Spetz and Petan.

Nope, minors and scratched. Let’s see what Shore and Timashov can do.

O'neil is hot about Spezza...

Making some good points... Spezza showed up early to help with the young guys and could have signed for more elsewhere. It is a slight from Babs.

I haven't really paid any attention to Vegas this preseason. Didn't know Glass made the team.

Is he gonna be on the 4th line or actually get a chance with good players?

French (or anyone else for that matter) would you drop someone like a Jason Zucker for him now or wait? I'm in a keeper league (it's a weird one, don't get me started) and it could be very wise. Maybe a bit risky, but I could take the chance and probably replace Zucker's production elsewhere. Any advice appreciated.
