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

--------------------------------------------------

Healthy Scratches:

#44 Hollweg

#50 *Boyce*

#22 *Devereaux*

#52 *Earl*

#7 White

#-- *Kulemin*

----------------------------------------------------

Kulemin - May not start the season with the Maple Leafs.

Earl - Ended season with Maple Leafs, may not start season in NHL.

Boyce - Same as Earl, on injured reserve.

Devereaux - Will go in line-up if Mark Bell is not ready to start the season.

Stajan - Will be moved in the line-up if Sundin is not with the Maple Leafs.

Bell - May not start season (jail).
