Tyler Biggs fought off the opening face-off at the prospect camp scrimage against David Broll.

Ty biggs and david broll drop the gloves on opening faceoff. Give edge to broll in a fiesty start to scrimmages.#tmltalk

Looks like Broll had two fights that game.

@HennyTweets
Broll takes on another david in wolf a german player from the del. Mckegg scores his 2nd. Not a dull moment here.#tmltalk

Hennytweets is Paul Hendrick from Leafs TV. Good sign seeing Biggs already dropping the gloves.

Looks like JVR is gonna go into camp as a center...hmmm.

From all accounts, the prospect camp went well. I hope Broll, Biggs, and Ross get a good look at training camp.

[I_am_Belak_2]

A look at the probable opening-night lineup so far, barring major changes through training camp and signings.

Lupul-van Riemsdyk-Kessel
Bozak-Grabo-MacArthur
McClement-Connolly-Kadri
Orr-Steckel-Brown
Extra: Frattin, Lombardi, Kulemin, Colborne.

Phaneuf-Gunnarsson
Liles-Gardiner
Franson(RFA)-Komisarek
Extra: Holzer

Reimer
Scrivens
Rynnas

My thoughts on what we can expect opening night.

Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
van Riemsdyk - Grabovski - Kulemin
MacArthur - McClement - Connolly
Brown - Steckel - Orr

EXTRA: Lombardi, Komarov

I have to believe that Kadri, Frattin, and Colborne will all start in the AHL. I don't know... if they can grab a spot out of training camp then we'll go from there. Maybe Orr is the 13th F this year... who knows.

Phaneuf - Gunnarsson
Liles - Gardiner
Franson - Komisarek

EXTRA: Holzer

Reimer
Scrivens

I love the enthusiasm, but if you guys really think Colton Orr has a job over Matt Frattin you need to message me your heroin dealer's number.

You never know... it is Randy Carlyle we are dealing with here. His first move last year was calling up Rosehill.

[Fireball_IV]

Bring back Orr

Based on the Leafs' tendency to run hot and cold in the last several years let's just hope they go into this shortened season hot. Then maybe we can see a f*ckin playoff game for the first time in damn near a decade.

Burke would be an idiot if he goes after Luongo.

[I_am_Belak_2]

They better be in the process of writing up a contract for Paul Ranger. The guy deserves to be on the team.

He'd be a 6th d-man. I'd rather have Mark Fraser up in that role instead.

[I_am_Belak_2]

They can fit in both if Gardiner remains injured and Franson/Holzer sit.

I would agree on this one. From what I have watched from the Marlies, I have only seen good things from Fraser as a player and a leader.

I like Ranger and am not trying to take anything away from him but I prefer Fraser.
