From kristen_shilton: Dubas feeling no added pressure as Leafs get set to begin Phase 3. MORE:
Regardless of experience level, Dubas said everyone will get a fair shake at cracking the club's roster for a prospective Phase 4, where the Leafs will face Columbus in a best-of-five series beginning Aug. 2.
“I think the way that he performs in practices and in the scrimmages and in the games and with the way that we're going to have the camp set up [will be telling],” Dubas said. “It's not a typical camp where in the past we've had 70 guys; there's not the ability to get as lost as there is in a camp [that size]. He'll be noticeable; we'll be watching him.”
Dubas doesn’t see much of an advantage for the Leafs being housed in their own home city for the start of the tournament , other than the fact that “I guess we don’t have to take a flight to get here.” What should make a difference is that in the last four months, the team has gotten back to full health and that its head coach has had a chance to catch up after being promoted in mid-November to replace the fired Mike Babcock.
