Team: 2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Aug. 3, 2021

Published: Aug. 3, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Bunting is Hymans replacement on the first line.

Ritchie needs sheltered minutes due to poor defensive performance like Gally did so the second seems the best for him.

Keefe wants checking/defensive 3rd. Kerfoot and Mikheyev did a great job last year in this role and I anticipate Keefe will keep them there while moving Kerfoot to the wing and adding in David Kampf at Centre.

4th - Spezza on the wing as he doesn't play centre anymore with Kase on the opposite wing. Kase is a gamble with past injuries and might need some time to get back to game form. Also don't want to thrust him into play 18+ minutes a night with the top 2 lines. Will play on the fourth with PP time. Went with Semyonov on Centre as everyone seems to forget they signed him from the KHL. Brooks is an option for this spot as well.

No, it isnt. Hyman is a lot of things, but he's not at all good defensively. Ritchie is ok at it

Ritchie is in the 43% for Even strength defense and has no PK time.
