9 Keys to a Winning Toronto Maple Leafs Playoff Lineup
By James Tanner
4. Dewar-Kampf-Jarnkrok
You can't have a "shut down" 3rd line because scoring is too imporant. But this is a fantastic fourth line that you can actually trust in a tight situation.
5. Robertson, Domi and McMann
Yeah they are bad at defense.
No you should not combine them into one line. But their scoring abilities are invaluable to this team, especially with a blue-line that is really bad at passing and puck-moving.
All three need to be in the lineup at the same time.
6. Jake McCabe - Timothy Liljegren
This is the top pairing. Keefe needs to get Liljegren away from Edmundson. This is the Leafs best possible top pairing that doesn't need to be sheltered.
7. Never Play Benoit-Lyubushkin-Edmundson in the same game.
The Leafs can barely move the puck as it is with two of these guys + TJ Brodie.
Having all four of them in the same game will make it impossible to get the most out of their high-end forwards.
