With the latest arrival of Mathieu Schneider, the Leafs held their first summer camp practice today. These are the lines we saw today on the ice:
1st Line Ryan Smyth - Brad Richards - Jaromir Jagr Sheldon Souray - Marek Malik
2nd Line Patrick Elias - Patrice Bergeron - Milan Michalek Mathieu Schneider - Ryan Whitney
3rd Line Sean Avery - Paul Stastny - Mike Knuble Joe Corvo - Aaron Ward
4th Line Jay Pandolfo - Glen Metropolit - Steve Begin Mathieu Schneider - Marek Malik
Starting Goalie JS Giguere
Backup Goalie Cam Ward
PP Unit 1 Patrick Elias - Brad Richards - Jaromir Jagr Mathieu Schneider - Sheldon Souray
PP Unit 2 Ryan Smyth - Patrice Bergeron - Mike Knuble Ryan Whitney - Joe Corvo
"This is definitey the most talented group of guys I've ever been around in a locker room. We got about 4-5 guys that will be captains one day, we got guys that can net 50, and we got guys who can pass the puck to a blind guy. Schny has been there and knows what it takes to win. Some of our young guys will surely benefit from his presence and poise on the ice"-Sheldon Souray
Shortly after practice, Leafs management announced that Mathieu Schneider will wear the C for the Leafs in the upcoming 2007-2008 JGHL season.

That lineup is very deep.
Your top six is one of the best top six I have seen put together in FHL leagues 3rd line is pretty awesome too. Whitney and Souray on the PP will be ridiculous.
Goaltending tandem is solid too.
Very impressive team.

thank you Kevin.. this has been the vision of my team for a while, but could never quite get it to look like this, but now i think its finally looking like the team i was hoping to win with last season. i think souray will be the missing ingredient ive been lacking forever in jghl, an allstar dman. hopefully i can see an mvp type season from his forward ratings lol.
