Summary
Which Maple Leafs lineup spots are truly up for grabs heading into training camp? On today’s episode of Locked On Leafs, Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti break down the biggest roster battles heading into camp, including one of the most intriguing questions of the season: who will earn a spot on Auston Matthews’ wing? Will Matthew Knies remain alongside Matthews? Could Gavin McKenna force his way into the conversation? Is Jack Roslovic the best fit? And does Easton Cowan have a legitimate chance to steal one of the most coveted spots in the Leafs lineup? The guys also break down the crowded bottom-six battle, with Nick Paul, Dakota Joshua, Colton Sissons, Teddy Blueger, Brandon Duhaime, Steven Lorentz, Cowan and several young players all competing for NHL ice time. Plus, who wins the battle for the sixth and seventh spots on defence? With Morgan Rielly, Jake McCabe, Chris Tanev, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Darren Raddysh appearing to have regular roles locked down, can players like Troy Stetcher, Zach Blankenburg, Emil Andrae, Philippe Myers or Ben Danford force their way onto the roster? Finally, Mike and Dave make their predictions for this year’s Maple Leafs training camp darlings. Which unexpected player could turn heads and make a serious push for an NHL job?
