Pufahl is a 93 so he'll be 19 this next season...

Here's who I'd go with...

McColgan - Walker - Stransky
Nicholls - Sutter- ???
Astles - Stovin - Zajac
??? - ??? - ???

I can't see McEvoy or Hass being back, Benson will hopefully be moved for a younger checker to be on the third line with Astles and Zajac, though Stovin might be nobody wiould be able to take liberties with the small dude.

Forth line will be interesting to see whose playing there since some of the young guys probably be moved for a proven scorer (second line ? mark)

They have two listed prospects (Higgins and Sinatyanski?? who will be 18 and 17 if im not mistaken and could be 4th line guys. Both have solid numbers this past season.


Defense

Thrower-Siemens
Dietz- 20 or a 18 yr old vet.
Pufahl -Schmidt or rookie
Lernout
Pichorskiy


Goaltenders - All set there.

Makarov
Moodie

Pufahl 19 that's right all i know is it's slowly taking shape, good start! i was gonna put in those 2 guy's you have listed higgins and synatynski we wlll see how that shakes down, only thing i disagree on is Benson i still like him as a third line checked penalty kill specialist and shut down other teams top lines good in the dressing room too, but we shall see. it is starting to get exciting that'a all i know

The Leafs haven't signed him yet he has until june 1st i believe even if they do sign him i feel he will be back anyways

[mjw22]

Rielly would be a nice trade deadline pick up but I dont think Lorne has enough left to get him lol

We have plenty left in my opinion. We have many future picks yet to be dealt, and there's no way were done dealing yet. Who else do you want to send our way? hahaha

In my opinion we need another top center and one or 2 wingers along with a top Dman like, Dumba, or Pulock or Murray.
