Unless something drastic happens. Tavares won't be LTIR. He may actually be back for game 1. If he isn't he will be IR.

Overall these are similar to the lines the Leafs practiced with today. Except I think Kampf and Kerfoot were swapped.

Oops - I actually meant to have Kerfoot as 3rd line centre. I think if JT is back in the line-up, Robertson needs to be sent down....unfortunate, but true. Either that or they aim to keep both Malgin and Nicky, and trade out Kerfoot. I think they keep Holl for the moment....

Once JT is healthy, Kerfoot moves to 3C, Malgin to 2RW, Jarnkrok to 3RW & Robertson to Marlies.
When Lili ready to come back 🤷

Good for Malgin.

Gaudette may get claimed.
