Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 8, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I like the idea of having Matthews, Tavares and ROR up the middle come playoffs. (Unless ROR's finger is not well enough to take draws)

Forwards
-Top line either with Marner or Nylander works good
-Jarnkrok plays well in the top 6 alongside Tavares.
-Kerfoot is borderline unplayable at this point but Keefe will not sit him.
-3rd line would be a match up nightmare and grind people into oblivion
- 4th line would give solid shutdown minutes.

Defence

McCabe/Brodie are very good together
Gio/Lilly are good together as well
Rielly needs a defensive partner and less ice time.

Holl is also a good 6th D who needs to be in bottom pair minutes but sucks along side Reilly, so Schenn wins out.

I think this gives good balance but still very interchangeable if need be
