The Experts in their Field

The Muscle: Ryan "Knuckles" Reaves

This may be the most obvious role of the entire squad. However, it's important to have an enforcer around, making everyone feel more comfortable, especially if the group runs into a rival. Reaves is tasked with protective services on the ice, why would it be any different when he's working to fleece millions at the Casino de Monte-Carlo in Monaco?

The Safe Cracker: Mitch "Mischief" Marner

There's no lock Mitch Marner can't pick. With his quick thinking and mischievous grin, Marner can take down even the most impenetrable safe. He taps into his hockey instincts. Marner knows how to find the weak spots and maneuver around obstacles. It's all about finesse and timing when it comes to breaking through defensemen or cracking a safe. Marner's also not afraid to break out the dynamite if there's a pesky vault he just can't get through.

The New Guy: Maxime Lajoie

Who is this guy and how did he get here?

The Bumbling Bandit: Joseph "Oops" Woll

Now, for the player who might struggle in the art of cat burglary, we have Joseph Woll. While his nimble athleticism on the ice is unquestionable, his 6'3", 203 lbs frame makes stealth quite challenging. He may not be towering over others like some Leafs alumni, but picture Woll trying to squeeze through an air vent or tiptoeing in a black turtleneck. That's why the gang keeps 5'10" Max Domi around.

A successful heist needs the right players. These are the unsung heroes.
