Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 7, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Alright some explaining first and formost.

The players on ltir are just there to be players who i believe are waiver exempt and i needed a place to stick them.

The guys who are scratches are those i believe are players who the team doesnt mind moving them between waivers.

Now the lines

Top line of Robertson-Matthews-Marner

Im very unsure of Robertson but i think he will get a chance at some point to be top line. I dont know if it much matters who player with them and having another good shot just makes both players more deadly Marner has a person to pass to other than Matts, and the goalie has to watch another shot. Its win win.


Line 2 of Ritchie-Tavares-Nylander

This line is somewhat last years top line light, Ritchie hasnt been totally unlike hyman over the last few years, the points are fairly similar the playstyle is similar, both he and JT are not exactly the fastest skater so i think hes a fair fit. This line will basically be run by the other two they did great in the same position last year, only this year instead of a rotating wheel of 3rd members its gonna be ritchie for as long as possible.

Line 3 Mikheyev-Kampf-Kase

Ive never seen Kase play i have no idea what he will be like, but all he needs to be is better than engvall for this line to improve form last year, offensivly both Soup and Kampf are basically non existent, but defensivly they are both actually really really good. They will make up 2 thirds of a really effective shut down line. And if Kase can get like 30 points the line will be alright and he will be good.


The 4th line is the only one i really just have no concrete idea of what it should be
Its alot of money for kerfoot not to be in the top 6 especially as a bottom 6 center/Winger

But a line of Bunting-Kerfoot-Spezza has some real potential to run circles around other teams 4th line as some real solid depth scoring.


The defense is unchanged. Hell most of the linup is unchanged.

I think its better than last year but it really relies on Kase Bunting and Robertson just being able to play at the level we know they can.


The Powerplay and Penalty are just mock examples of what it could be. I imagine once they get a bit more of an understanding on what the players can do both of these can change pretty drastically,
