Your scratches are actually players that need to be sent down to be cap compliant. So you are now running with a 20 man roster, with only 6 D, one of them the oldest players in the league, another showing signs of deterioration and being on the wrong side of 30 as well. Timmins will likely be claimed when sent down, your only 2 roster players who are waiver exempt are Knies and Robertson, both making under a million and both forwards. Because your using LTIR you don't accumulate cap so you won't be able to gain cap space to add an additional player to the roster part way into the season. That defense as is is not cup contender worthy. And the biggest issue of all, what if Murray decides he is healthy enough to play in December. Unlike other LTIR players he has been compared to (Price, Weber, etc) he does not have a multi year contract that will continue to play him. He needs to play at some point this year if he hopes to get any type of contract next year. Toronto is playing with fire in so many ways if they don't make some additional moves.
