FINALLY!!
I see Johnsson signing 1 year deal to prove he is full time NHL great player.
As for lineup, I would do it like this:
Hyman-Matthews-Brown
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Johnsson-Nylander-Kapanen
Grundstrom-Lindholm-Leivo
Aaltonen, Martin (if Martin gone then leave a hole there and callup anybody significant from Marlies if needed)
Gardiner-Hainsey
Rielly-Ozhiganov/Holl
Dermott-Zaitsev
7th.. Ozhiganov/Holl (Carrick probably gone)
Andersen (McElhinney)
I think the lineup is really close.....Here's my take
Grundstrom, Matthew, Mariners. Grundstrom sorta has the same role as Hyman but Matthews and Marner are two "veterans on the line.
Johnson, Nylander, Hyman. Nylander and Hyman still together, Johnson will show he's an NHLer winger. I think Johnson is signed to at least three years\
Marleau, Kadri, Kapane
Martin/Leivo, Aaltonern. Lindholm. Brown
Reilly, Ozhignavov
Gardiner, Hainsey
Dermot. Zaitsev
Borgman. If Ozzie doesn't work out, Dermot plays on the right side
Andersen and Sparks. Leafs have to see if Sparks is an NHLer.
