Nick Robertson scored both goals, while Max Pacioretty had two assists. They were flanking David Kämpf on the first line. > Tonight’s lineup [pic.twitter.com/YBogCW94cF](https://t.co/YBogCW94cF?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) [October 3, 2024](https://twitter.com/MapleLeafs/status/1841974248618725679?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > THERE HE GOES AGAIN!!!!

And I don't think I could give a bigger argument for why the preseason (and a four game sample size) is meaningless better if I tried. But hey, maybe it's real and a third liner some day will have a 102 goal, 0 assist season. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/2024/10/image.png) Before the game, the Leafs made their first cuts, sending down their AHL/ECHLers ahead of Marlies training camp. Nick Abruzzese was also put on waivers in order to also be there. [Maple Leafs make first cutsIt’s time to set up the AHL training camp as its own entity.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/PPP-Goalie-Logo_RGB-3.png)PPP LeafsCathy Squires![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/photo-1503792501406-2c40da09e1e2)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/maple-leafs-make-first-cuts/) On the same day, the Marlies signed Rhett Parsons (who was at Leafs camp as an invitee) to an AHL contract.

There's a lot more in there that you should read. I still think the best/only way to get three strong lines was to go and acquire Nik Ehlers this summer when there was a chance he'd be moved.
