About a month ago, I predicted what the Toronto Maple Leafs roster might look like come puck drop in October.
The gist of the article was that the Leafs don’t really need a major line overhaul, just some minor tweaks here and there.
I showed what the lines looked like as of their last playoff game and just to be on one page, I’ll show it again here.
Zach Hyman – Auston Matthews – William Nylander
Leo Komarov – Nazem Kadri – Connor Brown
James van Riemsdyk – Tyler Bozak – Mitchell Marner
Matt Martin – Brian Boyle – Kasperi Kapanen
Matt Hunwick – Morgan Rielly
Jake Gardiner – Nikita Zaitsev
Martin Marincin – Connor Carrick
Frederik Andersen
Curtis McElhinney
Two notable absences are Nikita Soshnikov and Roman Polak but I expect the latter of the two to be gone pretty soon.
