Predicting all four lines for the Toronto Maple Leafs' next Season
Brad Treliving has made some interesting acquisitions this summer, and the 2023-24 edition of the Maple Leafs will be one of the most exciting teams to watch in a long time.
His goal was to establish a truly positive team culture, and he achieved that by acquiring three players specialized in this area: Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi, and Ryan Reaves.
This change will certainly help develop team chemistry, which has been lacking in Toronto in recent years.
They also have the necessary grit to succeed in the playoffs.
The Lines
Brad Treliving will probably make other moves before the start of the season, but at the moment, this is what the lineup for the first game could look like:
Tyler Bertuzzi - Auston Matthews - Mitch Marner
Matthew Knies - John Tavares - William Nylander
Max Domi - David Kämpf - Calle Järnkrok
Pontus Holmberg - Sam Lafferty - Ryan Reaves
As you can see, Nylander is still there and completes the second line with Knies and Tavares. With all the recent rumors, Nylander could be traded, and in that case, Max Domi would likely be promoted.
Bertuzzi is placed on the first line, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Knies promoted to play with the top guns if he performs well.
