As it stands now, the Toronto Maple Leafs have so many potential showcase players for the 2015-2016 NHL trade deadline that they’re going to have to rotate Casey Bailey and Taylor Beck in and out of the lineup if they want to play them.
Here’s one of the options for what the Toronto Maple Leafs forward lines could look like on opening night. Keep in mind that the fourth line players could be second line players on this ragtag roster.
Van Riemsdyk – Kadri – Lupul
Parenteau – Bozak – Komarov
Winnik – Matthias – Arcobello
Panik – Holland – Spaling
The Leafs have three solid bottom six lines but severely lack the offensive punch up front, which will keep them in the Auston Matthews/Jakob Chychrun conversation all year.
