Kyle Wellwood and Mark Bell are suspossed to be returning tomorrow night against the Senators and hopefully add some scoring and agressiveness to the Leafs lineup.

Mark Bell - I think he may be rusty the first few games, but I think this will eventually be a great addition to the Leafs lineup. He will give us some toughness (something I think we need), and hopefully some scoring. Who knows, maybe he will have a solid first game back seeing as how he's been suspended for 15 games and watching from the sidelines. He's most likely ready to play. I think he also has to prove himself that he can still rake up some points, after having 2 solid seasons in Chicago, then having a weak one last year in San Jose.

Kyle Wellwood - It will be great to have Wellwood back in the lineup. The kid has great hands, should be able to put up some tallies in the goals section. After playing a couple pre season games (maybe it was only 1) he was injured, and it took abit longer than we all expected (including him) for him return. Watching on the sidelines with an injury or suspension is not easy, trust me...I've been there a couple times with my local hockey team. I think Wellwood is ready to play, and hopefully he can help out our powerplay abit, seeing as how Maurice has allready told the media he will be on the starting powerplay unit.

I am not a leafs fan, not even close... but the addition of Bell and Wellwood is going to be huge for the leafs.

Yah, I'm not a huge fan of any of the rookie/almost-rookie Leafs yet, except for Wellwood. He originally came up with 2 others (Stajan and... can't remember) and I said if the Leafs are only keeping one, I hope it's Kyle.

Hopefully he can stay healthy for the rest of the year. THere's no reason why he can't be a 20 goal guy year in year out if he plays the majority of the seasons.

Steen was the third.

Ooh yah. Actually I like all 3 of 'em now. As long as they play with some grit.

Should be interesting to see how Bell plays - whether he tries to be a playmaker or searches out Neil or McGrattan. (hopefully the latter, because we all know what happens when a crusher tries to become a rusher)

Bell I think played a solid first game back. Too bad that joke Neil wouldn't accept his invotation to fight.

Bell definitely looked good out there. Too bad the Senators are just a much more dominant team at this point. Their passing was ridiculous.
