Toronto Maple Leafs: Projected Lineup for 2008-09 NHL Season

With all the minor moves that the Maple Leafs made and the couple major moves, they just may have a shot at the playoffs. If not this season, then they should next season, when they have a permanent GM in place and possibly will have completed their rebuilding stage. This is what I think the Maple Leafs will look like when the start the season in Detroit on October 9:

                    LW                    C                    RW

Line 1:     Steen            *Stajan*          Blake

Line 2:    Antropov      Grabovski     Ponikarovsky

Line 3:      Tlusty             *Bell*           Williams

Line 4:     Mayers            Moore           Hagman

D 1:         Kaberle                                    Kubina

D 2:        Stralman                                   Finger

D 3:        McCabe                                  Colaiacovo

G 1:                                   Toskala

G 2:                                    Joseph
