Maple Leafs Trim Training Camp Roster

Brian Burke, president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Saturday that the hockey club has trimmed its training camp roster.

The following players were assigned to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League: Alex Berry, Darryl Boyce, Josh Engel, Andrew Engelage, Tom Galvin, Stefano Giliati, Richard Greenop, Juraj Mikus, Dale Mitchell, Phil Oreskovic, Todd Perry, James Reimer, Kyle Rogers, Joe Ryan, Greg Scott, Robert Slaney, and Mikhail Stefanovich.

The Maple Leafs assigned the following players to their respective junior clubs: Jesse Blacker (Windsor – OHL), Joel Champagne (P.E.I. – QMJHL), and Brandon Manning (Chilliwack – WHL).

Bill Thomas and Juha Uotila have been released from their Professional Try-Out contracts.

No surprises….It will be the next set of cuts where things will start to get interesting.  At what point does Kadri get sent back to his OHL team?

Here is a good clip of the newest Maple Leaf/Marlie:

Richard Greenop didn’t make the tv shows yeaterday. He wasn’t on Twitter either. However, he is the Brian Burke era player. He is 6 foot 4, 235 20 year old who just finished 3 years in Windsor. I am told he may have been the toughest guy in the OHL last year. He was 6th in the league with 155 PIMs last year.
I am told that he is the undisputed heavyweight in the O, by far. I am sure you are shocked to learn that his skating needs work!
New Burke style leafs, and marlies!
