[Leafs Depth Up Front a Huge Issue Heading Into Training Camp - Mike Langlois at Vintage Leaf Memories](http://vintageleafmemories.blogspot.com/2011/08/leafs-depth-up-front-huge-issue-heading.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> We all know the names that will make up the roster in that regard—Kessel and Lupul will likely be with Connolly on, ostensibly, the "first" line. Grabovski will again center MacArthur and Kulemin. After that, we have a raft of bottom-six guys, useful pluggers who can chip in once in a while on offense—Armstrong, Bozak, Boyce, Crabb and many others.

Those guys may all make the squad, and maybe that re-jigs the forward mix a bit for the better. Again, we'll see.
