New year, new defense for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Morgan Rielly and Jake Muzzin are still there at the top, but are joined by new defenseman with the initials TB. TJ Brodie, thankfully. Justin Holl is back, having signed a new three-year deal starting this season. After him, there’s a whole crowd of up to seven players for the final two spots on the roster.
Surely it’s impossible to turn seven into two or three, right?
I wanted to go through the roster and see if there’s any obvious areas to trim the roster, either through trade or demotions to the AHL, or whatever form that’ll take once the season gets underway.
