JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson
Booth - Komarov - Santorelli
Winnik - Kontiola - Frattin

that isn't bad at all. Bottom 6 looks completely different and A LOT better than last year.

- MCharisma91


Komorav openly said he doesn't like playing Center. Holland will be 3C IMO.

2 of those guys will be on his wings.
Komorav-Winnik-Frattin could be a solid 4th that plans 10-12 mins.

I've liked the guy from games I've watched. Guess this sets up a Holland-for-E.Kane trade.

I'm a fan of all the moves this summer save for the Komarov contract. I think Leaf fans will like Winnik the same way they loved McClement when during the lockout season. Guy plays solid hockey, just don't expect him to light the lamp.

Komarov is naturally a centre. The Leafs used him on the wing though.
- mykokes

I want him along the boards as a winger, he is more effective there.

3/4 lines are interchangable. sure say thats the third line. Fins will be playing together was the change i meant to show.

Very likely. Either way, lots of flexibility now, and no more Orr and McLaren.

He prefers to play wing, and said so on more than one occasion.

JvR Bozak Kessel
Lupul Kadri Clarkson
Santorelli Holland Booth
Komarov Winnik Frattin

Phaneuf-Gards
Rielly-Robidas
Franson-Polak

Bernier
Reimer

That is as of today with room for changes in the bottom 6 and 2LRW and perhaps reimer and franson gone...

Where do we finish in the poopy east?

- RileyHaze

That top d line could be trouble defensively. Yikes

As for where we finish? I'm guessing 6-10.

Again, very likely to happen. I also think guys like Ashton and Holland are more likely to thrive with all these new faces in the bottom six. Especially Ashton, I think we'll notice him more playing with real NHL players.

Agree rather see him on third, especially with the money he is being paid.

So many centres now. Feels like Kadri or Holland are part of a deal.

Question for the leafs fan in here : Do you guys think Clarkson will stay all season on the 2nd line? Do you think any of the new guys can take his role or do the Randy absolutely wants him on the second?

I come in peace in your thread

Clarkson should start on the third line. Him Kadri and Lupul weren't effective at all together. Let him cycle with guys like Santorelli and Winnik.
