Hard to say what the lines will look like now that Keefe is coaching. I think alot of the "rules" that guided Babcock in how he chose his lines are out the window. All sorts of options are in play now I think. The leafs could even get their version of a stacked top line..

The Jt line with Hyman on his strong side and Mikheyev to his left looked pretty dominant the other night as a line that can cycle. Your third line looks pretty awesome to me. Could that give us a Nylander/AM/Marner line? That'd be fun to see.

Also, I think Spezza has a spot on this team now. With either Goat or Giraffe out, cause Moore certainly has a spot.

No, I don't think you can have those Marner-Matthews-Nylander on a line because even though it's crazy skill, there's not enough forechecking and structure.

I have a trade proposal:

To PIT:
Mitch Marner

To TOR:
Bryan Rust
Marcus Pettersson (Resigned)
Samuel Poulin
1st Round Pick

What'd you think?

I'd say no. And I doubt very much that any trade of substance is coming any time soon.

Everything kinda makes more sense now that Keefe is the coach. And I kinda think that alot of the moves that Dubas has made he's done with Keefe in mind. I think this roster is pretty close to what they want.

Who knows if it works? But I betcha they give this team ample time to show what it can do.
