It looks like the Toronto Maple Leafs roster is set ahead of Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, which may upset a ton of fans.
Once again, the Toronto Maple Leafs have home-ice advantage but their roster is drastically different. Their bottom-six has toughness and depth, while their defensive-group is arguably stronger than ever. However, despite the changes, fans could be upset with the potential Game 1 roster.
According to Jonas Siegel, the Toronto Maple Leafs roster looked like this during practice on Sunday, which would indicate how Game 1 will look:
Forwards
Bunting – Matthews – Marner
Tavares – O’Reilly – Nylander
Aston-Reese – Kampf – Lafferty
Kerfoot – Acciari – Jarnkrok
Defense:
McCabe – Brodie
Giordano – Holl
Rielly – Schenn
