Peter Mueller & Brandon Prust to FA

[LeafsFan16]

If Lombardi is healthy i wouldn't hate a third line of:

Kulemin - McClement - Lombardi.

Kule as the forechecker and first guy in their zone, and Lombo as the support man. Carlyle uses small speedy guys well and i dont think Lombardi will be demoted UNLESS they are stuck with that as the only option. Right now i dont think they plan on sending him down.

Maybe i'm wrong but i really think Carlyle will be ok with having him with the Leafs.

I like the idea of Lombardi on the 4th line(if he's playing on the Leafs) over the 3rd line. Obviously he has wheels which would help of course on any line, but b/c he ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to drive the net I think he's better suited for the 4th.

I think they'd put him on the fourth line. His knee also has to cooperate.

Frattin won't play on the 4th line but yes it depends on his knee. Frattin if healthy, would be locked in as the 3rd line winger no doubt though.

I'm hoping to see this for the bottom six...

Kulemin - McClement - Frattin
Lombardi - Steckel - Brown

[mikeysnow14]

But there are very few "locks" this season... I would say the following is what we can expect. But it's so hard to fill in the blanks...

Lupul - ??? - Kessel
JVR - Grabovski - ???
??? - McClement - ???
??? - Steckel - Brown

Kulemin, Lombardi, Connolly, MacArthur, Kadri, Ashton, Frattin, Colborne, Bozak... Have fun with that Randy...

I'm hoping to see this for the bottom six...

Kulemin - McClement - Frattin
Lombardi - Steckel - Brown

Leo Kamarov will be in the bottom 6 if he makes the team.

Its hard to think of what the lines will be next season... FA just started and there is still over 2 and a half months till next season. That is if they get their **** together and get the CBA finalized in time. There will be trades to come. but who knows when that will be.

i still like lombo more on the 3rd line.

Kulemin - McClement - Lombo
Brown - Steckel - Komorav/Frattin

I would put frattin in Komarovs spot but if Management doesn't want him on the 4th line then i trade him or send him down. I don't like him on the third line. i think he's a lesser Kulemin and i'd rather have Lombo's speed to compliment that line. If Kule is on the second line then:

Frattin - McClement - Lombo

would be just as good but that would mean that 1 or both of Mac and Timmy are gone. I doubt that happens.
