Maple Leafs Practice Hints at Significant Lineup Changes with Notable Players Absent
The Maple Leafs could be making a big change.
The Maple Leafs are in Sweden right now to take part in the Global Series. At practice there was two notable players sitting out.
Both Ryan Reaves and John Klingberg were not in the lineup for practice and it could be because the team wants to make a change.
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander
Robertson-Domi-Jarnkok
McMann-Kampf-Gregor
Reaves
Rielly-Brodie
Giordano-McCabe
Benoit-Lagesson
Timmins
Woll, Samsonov, Jones
Both players have been struggling this year so far
Ryan Reaves was signed to a three-year deal by the Maple Leafs to protect the top players as well as to contribute bottom-six offence.
He has done neither so far. In 14 games, he has zero points and a -11 rating. All he's done to "protect" the top players is chirp other teams in the media without doing much on the ice.
Klingberg was brought in to shoulder the load offensively with Morgan Rielly but hasn't done much either in that regard.
He has five points in 14 games and has been an overall disappointment for the team.
