Description

There's still 20 games left. The Leafs need to use these games to figure out the second and fourth lines. Also need to find our D pair combinations with Gio in the mix. And pray to god Campbell can find form otherwise none of this matters unless Kallgren goes on a run.

I love the top line but the Leafs can always revert back to that line because we know it works. I think we should try JT with Marner and Auston with Willy. As for the left wing, I think Kerfoot and Nylander do well together so I'll put Bunting with JT and Marner, although that can be flipped. Third line has done well together so keep them together. This gives us Kase and Blackwell to boost the fourth line. I understand Simmonds brings grit but Blackwell brings that as well with better offensive and defensive play.

As for defense the Sandin and Muzzin injuries might force us to do things differently for now. When everyone's healthy, I think the Calgary top pair will be back together. Lyubushkin has gotten looks with Rielly so he can get more time there. That leaves Muzzin-Sandin as the bottom pair.
