Sunday was a baseball day in Toronto and on the internet, but we all know how that turned out, so let’s talk about the Leafs lines we saw at training camp! The reason these are interesting is because some players were swapped from one group to another and the line rushes are starting to look a lot more like what they’ll be on opening night. So let’s look at the new lines and what we can infer for the Leafs (and the Marlies) this season.
