While no one looked great last night, Liljegren is not a solid defender and I'd be very hesitant to play him over Holl.

And I dont know if you'll get any secondary offense from those 3rd and 4th lines. If youre TB and you play a tight game, looking to capitalize on your opponents mistakes you can load up the top 2 lines, but thats not the way the Leafs play.

Liljegren is still in his first full season and looks better than Holl on most nights. He'll be in the lineup.

I like Lil in over Holl but if Muzz comes back and looks how he has this season I'd go brodie/holl and sit muzzin. Forwards look good but other than taking faceoffs I'd want blackwell playing 4c and let spezza play wing.

Don't get me wrong id rather have Robertson on the 4th low but everyone says we need grit.

The third line is a checking line and has been good at it

Same difference re Blackwell/spezza

Sandin is out till final week of season. So should be back next week. Kase no timeline due to concussion recovery

Honestly I wonder if Sandin comes back should Keefe run 7 Dman

As really we dont need a complete 4th line. Rotate Engvall or Kerfoot with whoever the 2 4th liners are.

I like the concept of 7 d in regards to minutes and in theory. But in practice I hate it and the d always seem to play way worse for lack of consistent/regular partner
