DEFENSE
Justin Faulk – John-Michael Liles
EXTRAS: Jay Harrison – Brett Bellemore
When your blue line consists of 3 Maple Leaf rejects you might be in trouble. Liles, Gleason and Harrison are all former Leafs who couldn’t fit, although Gleason was more of his preference than the Leafs. It is largely a non-descript group with Faulk being the anchor and Murphy probably destined for that power play specialist role that Marc-Andre Bergeron made a living as. The 8 of them account for just under $18.5M in cap commitment.
