TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – Sheldon Keefe is as curious as anyone else to see what shakes out once the Maple Leafs start training camp.

Keefe, the coach of the Toronto Marlies, will have a better handle on his club once those players competing for depth roles with the Leafs begin to separate themselves, both at forward and on defence.

“This year probably more than any other, I think there is lot of question marks about who is it that is actually going to end up coming down because there is going to be great competition in the Leafs camp, from the looks of it,” Keefe said. “That will significantly impact the look of our team.

“There is enough depth there that we are going to end up with good players, but who they are and how that affects depth and lines remains to be seen.”

Keefe could be guiding any one, or two, of forwards Nic Petan, Nick Shore, Kenny Agostino, Pontus Aberg, Frederik Gauthier or Garrett Wilson (who is nursing an injury) once final Leafs cuts are made.
