I like Kappy a lot better than Leivo. I'm hoping the Leafs aren't worried about losing Leivo on waivers because does it really make any difference? Marincin has good mobility, he just doesn't know where the hell he should be positioned on the ice.

Oh, Kappy is miles ahead of Leivo, just not sure if it's best if he's in the press box all year? If Babs would be open to running a rotation, Altonen and Kapanen should be on the roster to spell other plays when needed (but not at the expense at their development). You're right, Marincin is fairly mobile, just lacks the puckhandling skills and hockey IQ. Play seems to catch up with him quickly. I don't think he makes this team with the likes of dermott, rosen, and borgman showing better than him.

My Marlies lines would look something like:

Johnsson-Mueller-Kappy
Timashov-Altonen-Sosh
Moore-Greening-Bracco
Rychel-Gauthier-Lindberg
Brooks, Smith

Borgman-Lilegren
Nielsen-Holl
Marincin-Valiev
Laverde
