The team is leaving on their Muskoka trip, so there will be something like a Marlies camp left behind.

---

The Maple Leafs run a very serious business training camp these days, and they quickly tuck away the players who are AHLers on PTOs, and they've even waived some NHL-contracted AHLers already, cut the juniors save Ben Danford, and sorted the main camp out into what looks like the actual NHL team with a group of extras on hand to play that final road game in Detroit.

From the original 73 players, the formation now looks like this: 

Players loaned to their junior teams: 

Matthew Hlacar  
Miroslav Holinka  
Tyler Hopkins  
Harry Nansi  
Owen Conrad  
Rylan Fellinger  
Nathan Mayes

Sam McCue

Players waived and now formally on the Marlies roster: 

Travis Boyd  
Bo Groulx  
Vinni Lettieri

Players moved today that did not require waivers: 

Brandon Baddock  
Matthew Barbolini  
Gunnarwolfe Fontaine  
Luke Grainger  
Luke Haymes  
Reese Johnson  
Marc Johnstone  
Ben King  
Ryan Kirwan  
Braeden Kressler  
Alex Nylander  
Cédric Paré  
Jacob Quillan  
Nick Rhéaume  
Logan Shaw  
Landon Sim  
Marko Sikic  
Sam Stevens  
Ryan Tverberg  
Borya Valis  
Noah Chadwick  
Ryan McCleary  
Rhett Parsons  
John Prokop  
Chas Sharpe  
Blake Smith  
Cade Webber  
Ken Appleby  
Artur Akhtyamov  
Vyacheslav Peksa

  
From the original roster there of AHL/ECHL players who have not formally been loaned down since the Marlies camp has not officially started but they don't show up at the main practice, ~~I'm left with Sam McCue.~~  
  
  
There is an NHL group of 24 players: 

Easton Cowan  
Max Domi  
Calle Järnkrok  
Dakota Joshua  
David Kämpf  
Matt Knies  
Scott Laughton  
Steven Lorentz  
Matias Maccelli  
Auston Matthews  
Bobby McMann  
William Nylander  
Nick Robertson  
Nic Roy  
John Tavares  
Simon Benoit \*  
Brandon Carlo  
Oliver Ekman-Larsson  
Jake McCabe  
Morgan Rielly  
Chris Tanev  
Anthony Stolarz  
Joe Woll \*\*\*  
Dennis Hildeby  

Finally, there is a group of bubble players who have practiced as of this weekend with the main group – this group has also included the three players waived, ~~so likely Sam McCue is in this smaller group now~~: 

Michael Pezzetta  
Matt Benning  
Ben Danford  
Dakota Mermis  
Phil Myers  
Marshall Rifai \*\*  
Henry Thrun  
William Villeneuve  
James Reimer

\*injured short term  
\*\*inured longer term  
\*\*\*on leave  

The NHL group is going to get at least one defender out of the bubble group, possibly both Myers and Thrun depending on the status of Benoit. The excess at the NHL level is in forwards. 

The AHL group got all goalies but Dennis Hildeby, who with Reimer on the roster on a PTO make the three goalies currently with the team.

The bubble group is not big enough to form a team, so some portion of the NHL group will join them for the final game on Saturday, and it is possible some of the Marlies will bounce back up to play in that game. That is, unless Craig Berube surprises us and just plays his NHL roster in that game as well. It would be a first if he did. 

The home game is Thursday night, the final game on Saturday, and the big waivers day is Sunday with cap-compliant 23-man rosters due at 5 pm on Monday.
