Maybe it could look like this

Antro-Sundin-Blake
Poni-Steen-Tucker
Kilger-Stajan-Gamache
Battaglia-Pohl-Deveraux

Kaberle-Kubina
McCabe-Colaiacovo
White-Gill

I was very impressed with Stralman I think he will be a great blueliner for years to come.

The leafs coaching staff in general (since Maurice took over) has gone a complete 180 flip from the quinn era. Quinn let players play injured 82 games a year. Maurice doesn't do that. If you fe3el a bit queezzy, you sit a game. He doesn't even like to play guys who aren't fit coming into training camp (See O'neill last season).as for Wellwood, if he pklays he'll do well. if he doesn't he'll be easier to sign next season. this situation is a lot worse if he's just signed a 21 million dollar extension (cough fisher cough)…(only joking, great signing by sens)

Fact is Wellwood was probably told just to rest and engage in off ice workouts. It’s funny though because the Leafs medical staff aren’t surgeons so how would they know whether or not Wellwood would require a correction?

It’s pathetic to see someone looking for excuses before the season has even started. I’m a Leafs fan, and all I can say is I hope Wellwood has a healthy and quick recovery. I’m not going to sit here and criticize a medical staff when someone’s health is in question. Now let’s not let our medical staff become this years scapegoat.
