And the leafs tie it up!!

Okay guys, I'm gonna say this loud and clear because I agree with it.

Read an article on how the Leafs should construct the optimal lines. He just basically said each line needs a grinder who can muck it up in the corners, a playmaker, and a shooter. Pretty simple if you ask me. Plus he has Willy with Matty because Willy with Johnny aren't good defensively as a whole. Anyways here's how he has it. G being grinder, S being... you all get the point.

G Bert, S Matthews, P Nylander
G Knies, S Tavares, P Marner
S Robertson, P Domi, G Jarnkrok
Laffy, Kampf, Reaves

Who really gives a (frank) about who does what on the 4th. It's all about having 3 decent and balanced scoring lines.

What do you guys think?

Nice job by swanson to get the side.
Lets go jays.

I’ll be flat out shocked if Robertson makes the team. He hasn’t played since 2022 and doesn’t have to clear waivers. He’s also not getting played with anyone who are guaranteed to make the team as well.

Meh dont care who plays where.
Whoever has the best chemistry, play them together. It may take a few games to figure it out.
The line up doesnt look bad....not sure Robertson will be useful.
We'll see.

Agreed. Robertson is not making this team.

Sure, except Robertson is not ready and probably never will be. I smell a Bracco...not the drugs, just the never gonna happen.

I think you will probably see this, after the Nylander C experiment is done,:

Bert, Matthews, Nylander
Knies/Domi, Tavares, Marner
Domi/Knies, Kampf, Jarnkrok
Laff/Gregor, Gambrell, Reaves


(Gregor if that have to move Lafferty for Cap or Timmins, Robertson, Holmberg, Martin Jones are going buried in the minors and Gregor won't be signed)

Nice win.
Jays take the series.
Great plays today.

That doesn't look that bad actually.

A guy can dream. It's my birthday on Tuesday so I'll take that lineup as a present.

You need to flip Marner and Willie if history stay consistent.

I think Lafferty will be alot better than people think this year.. will be a 20 goal guy...I like what I have seen from Minten in a small sample size.. Gambrel will be a pressbox guy

Agreed. Robertson is not making this team.

I think giving him top 6 mins down on the marlies would be better for him as well right now.

Dolphins leading 70-20 in the 4th against the Broncos.

Lol ok fair enough. Just accept whoever does make the team as a reasonable replacement

The leafs won’t be able to afford the bolded lol

If the leafs even want 12 forwards they’ll only get 6 D. Will they want to do that if one of them is Gio?

I won’t be shocked if it’s 11 forwards and 7 D men tbh.

I think they finally give Marner back to JT, especially if the rookie Knies is on the LS.

Can't have 3 bad defensive forwards on the same line.

Nylander and Matthews work well together.

Marner helps JT's slow ass a lot.

Its gonna be Matthews, Nylander and then JT, Marner almost guarantee it.

With Timmins and maybe Benoit its likely.

Can send Gio through waivers but keep him up with the big club if need be to keep all on the roster early on.

How do yawl like Klinger on the 1st PP???

So you think the leafs are going to move on from Gio?

May not play the whole season but I don't think they get rid of him. He could be very valuable depth I think.

If they want to use him he’s a cap hit no? The leafs don’t have the space for extra guys unless I’m missing something?

JT wouldn’t have to hustle back as much if Marner wasn’t coughing it up so much. But yes JT and Marner were a good match!
