He doesn't have to impress much, but the Leafs D is already pretty set. If he looks good enough they'll make moves to keep him.

Wait for next year's FA crop, new CBA, and one or two of our incoming rookie/AHL crop to have a breakout season and we'll see if we can go into the season after this with a healthy and OHL-dominating Galchenyuk on the first year of his ELC and more of the pieces in place to make it worth it.

Staal stayed up mostly because he was lights out in his "try-out" time.
