Group C is mostly AHLers who might get brought onto one of the other rosters now and again, but this is a serious business camp, and the biggest difference between Kyle Dubas and Brad Treliving is that in his media availability yesterday, Treliving was very upfront about the lack of jobs on the Leafs roster.

As we enter training camp the desire to get your attention with stories about William Nylander and Elias Pettersson unsigned after this year, Steven Stamkos decided to do some negotiating in the media: [Tampa Bay Lightning plan to shelve talks with ‘disappointed’ Steven Stamkos until after season | TSNTampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois said it would be great if Stamkos could spend his entire career with the team but indicated there won’t be any talks until after the season.![](https://www.tsn.ca/content/dam/sports/images/favicon/tsn/apple-touch-icon.png)TSNThe Canadian Press![](https://www.tsn.ca/content/dam/tsn/en/home/images/2022/5/4/steven-stamkos-1-1795137-1695227544192.jpeg)](https://www.tsn.ca/tampa-bay-lightning-plan-to-shelve-talks-with-disappointed-steven-stamkos-until-after-season-1.2010076?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Which means that the Nylander circus has to change to constant chatter about him playing centre. Both Treliving and Sheldon Keefe were at pains to talk up Nylander yesterday (videos linked above) and they also both talked about this centre playing business – a feature of training camp year after year. Goldfish memories in hockey means it's all new and controversial again. Listen to Keefe and decide if this is going to last into October.
