The Leafs’ Depth Chart

Heading into tonight’s action, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Line 1 has 94 points on the season, a total that ranks 15th in the league. In fact, the unit’s points total is only a handful away from lines featuring the likes of Joe Thornton, Mike Richards and Anze Kopitar.
Kulemin, Grabovski and MacArthur, of course, are benefactors of a Maple Leafs team that lacks depth up front. On virtually every other team in the NHL, the trio would never see Line 1 ice time Even Strength or on the Powerplay.
They are not first liners.
But what that means is that the Leafs’ Interim Line 1 can form one of the best 2nd lines in the NHL. There is an asterisk attached to that statement. It reads: *IF they can keep playing like this.

Report: Sabres offered Kennedy one-way contract

While some Sabres fans are still fuming about the actions of management during the Tim Kennedy arbitration saga, an interesting tidbit came out of Buffalo yesterday from beat reporter Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.
Hamilton, a long time respected Buffalo media veteran, revealed that he knew from a source with the team that near the end of the arbitration process the Kennedy camp rejected a final offer from the Sabres of $800k on a one-way contract.
It had been speculated for weeks that Kennedy not being offered a one-way deal was the major obstacle between the two parties during negotiations.
The comment by Hamilton was made during one of his daily appearances on the station and following the announcement that the South Buffalo native had agreed to a one-year, $550k deal with the New York Rangers.
The Sabres open their home schedule against the Rangers at HSBC Arena on October 9.
