Hagman-Moore-Bell (Hard hitting and defensively responsible)
Garbovski-Deveruax-Ponikarsky (this line will most likely be patch work, but it is clear that Garb is going to have to play in the NHL and he is going to have to get 15 minutes a game or he will have been a waste of time and distraction.)

The beauty with this team having no stars is that we can play all four lines, role them and give them all some ice time.

Scratches are Mayers (waste of pick) and Williams (he has to see some time this season if he is ever going to be anything)

Kaberle-Finger (fletch has said he was brought into compliment him)
Kubina-Frogren (fletch said the same for Frogren as he did for Finger)
Stralman-Coliacovo
McCabe (benched till he waives is the line I think Fletch is going to take with McCabe. With any luck the McCabe situation will be solved before the season starts and we can have White as our 7th guy but as it is right now, we will most likely lose White to the Wavier wire.)


All in all with the siging of Moore and the aquiring of Mayers the Leafs line up is not as young as I had originally hoped it would have been and sure I would have loved to have seen Kubina go for a fifteenth pick overall or so on draft day, but in the end i think the line up is young and will be balanced when the development takes place.

Some risks obviously occured that i didn't agree with taking, Jeff Finger for one, and Hagman is another. But at the end of the day i just want the speculation to end and the dust to clear.
