My impression of seeing the Leafs’ lines going into this game was that Keefe is taking all of his potential depth options and AHLers and challenging them against most of the Sens’ likely NHL roster. All three of Sandin, Liljegren and Dermott will have to carry an AHL defenseman as a partner. They don’t get each other to save one another. Robertson is getting a chance with Kerfoot and Simmonds.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of Kaše in person, since I missed most of the last game. I’m not going to care about the score at all — I want to see how all of these maybes and lottery tickets the Leafs are pinning some of their hopes on for their NHL depth look in a challenging game.
