Toronto Maple Leafs forwards Nik Antropov and Clarke Wilm accepted their one-year qualifying offers Friday.

In 62 games with the Leafs in 2003-04, Antropov recorded 13 goals and 18 assists with 62 penalty minutes.

The 25-year-old played 26 games for Yaroslavl in the Russian league during the lockout, collecting five goals and 14 assists with 44 penalty minutes.

In 263 career NHL games, the native of Kazakhstan has 48 goals and 77 assists with 261 penalty minutes.

Wilm, 28, played 69 games for Toronto's AHL affiliate in St. John's, N.L., last season, collecting 11 goals and 16 assists with 145 penalty minutes.

In 2003-04, he played 10 regular-season games for Toronto, recording seven penalty minutes.

The native of Central Butte, Sask., has 36 goals and 53 assists in 395 career NHL games for Calgary, Nashville and Toronto.

The Leafs also signed forwards Mike Hoffman and Roman Kukumberg to one year entry-level contracts.

So the broadcast schedule has been released for this upcoming season. As usual all the pre-season games are on Leafs TV, but it seems this year that there will be a handful of regular season games only on Leafs TV. Just wondering what those without digital think of this. Before all games would be on at least one of the regular cable stations, with Leafs TV exclusives only being game in an hour and specials.

I have a digital box myself and plan to go all out with the Centre Ice package to make up for all the seasons having regular cable or just whatever i could pick up off the air.

According to Sportsnet:

Leafs sign Czerkawski
September 7 @ 11:00 PM
According to nhl.com.pl, the Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to terms with Polish hockey player Mariusz Czerkawski.
Czerkawski officialy confirmed his plans Wednesday morning, during a special press conference at the Champions Pub at the Marriot Hotel in Warsaw. The only thing which will prevent him from being a Leaf is a failed physical. The club will announce the deal on either Thursday or Friday.

I hope Czerkawski isn't another Iggy Korolev or Berezin, or HOGLUND, etc, b/c that's what he's been like a lot. A one trick pony who can't do when the chips are down.

he's a pure scorer 30 is possible but not likely unless they play him with sundin. They are good friends so it is possible

hmmmmmm sundin, lindros, mariuz
allison, tucker, oneil
domi, ponakarovsky,antropov
wellwood, steen, wilm

I feel like i'm forgetting someone

stajan?
belak?

i also can't see lindros and sundin playing together....lindros, sundin and allison are all centres....one of them may move over to wing, but I dunno who would be best suited (if anyone)

Pat Quinn has been quoted in the past as saying he will not play either of Sundin or Lindros or Allison on the same unit. He plans to use all 3 of them at center and spread out the scoring. He is also quoted on the The FAN 590 that Mats Sundin will be paired with newcomer Mariusz Czerkawski with the possibility of using either Nik Antropov or Darcy Tucker as his top unit.

I think lindros being at centre is the cause many of his concussions (him skating through the nutrial zone with his head down is just asking vicious check). quin should move him to the wing and let alison play centre with him.

Yeah, umm, STAJAN over STEEN

Steen won't make the team.

I wouldn't rule out Steen making the team. If we had a different coach Steen has a very good chance of making the team. With Quinn his chances are not as good, but I wouldn't say it completely out of the question.

I am very curious to see what the lines will look like because there are quite a few possible combinations. I think Czerlaskjdfski will play on the wing with Sundin.

Antropov-Sundin-Czerkjasdfaski
Stajan-Allison-O'Neill
Tucker-Lindros-Domi
Poni-Wellwood-Steen/Kilger/Wilm (You could put Steen at centre and have Kilger or Wilm on the wing; I don't think Wellwood will make the team).

The 4th line centre spot is Stajan's to lose. I don't see him moving up to play the wing on another line.

I heard a rumour if Keane (don't really know him) signs with the Leafs, there'll be no room for Stumpey. I also heard Thomas might sign with the Red Wings as they have a better chance of winning a cup, and he's actually friends with Babcock.

According to the The FAN 590 Steve Thomas has inked a 1yr deal with Detroit.

Mariusz Czerkawski has inked a 1yr $500,000 deal with the Leafs. Mike Keane along with Bryan Marchment has been invited to Leafs tryout camp with no guarantee of a contract. If they manage to crack the line-up, they will be given league minimum of $450,000/yr.

yup forgot stajan and I work with his cousin LOL
he will make the team 100% this year, Coliacovo looks like he will as well.

Keane is a great pickup if it happens, the guy's a leader and can still play a solid game, not really a producer but he has a presence the leafs lack now that they don't have new, roberts and fitz.

I still can't see all 3 of sundin/allison & lindros at centre, but you never know.
