If you search up the team's roster statistics, you'd see Spezza, Kerfoot, Hymen and go hey they're average 0.5 or more points per game that means the depth lines are playing really well. In reality the guys playing down in the lineup that are actually producing there are Spezza and Boyd. Kerfoot and Hymen take shifts and are producing when higher in the lineup. You can tell cause Engvall, Mikhayev, Vesey, Petan, Barabanov have like 0-2 points this season. Thornton and Simmonds are productive when playing in the top 6. Everyone's giving Tavares and Nylander flack but they're producing and padding these depth guys' statistics. It's an illusion. It's a paradox. The team's depth isn't great while the top 6 are playing out of they're minds.
Injuries are a contributing factor obv. Thornton was brought in to play on the top line so he'll probably play there going into the playoffs (some shifts with Hymen there), Simmonds or Chucky on LW on the 2nd line (Galchenyuk is not a checking foreward so I doubt he'd play lower in the lineup since that isn't his game), Keefe's checking line with Mikhayev, Kerfoot and Hymen, and the 4th line of Spezza, Boyd and the revolving door of Petan, Barabanov, Engvall, Vesey or Simmonds (if he's not in the top 6). If the leafs were to make a move at the trade deadline, I'd like to see if they can get Gaudette from the Canucks (that would allow Kefoot to play LW on the 2nd line, move Simmonds down to the 4th line)
Yep. People who don't watch games don't see how, when and with who goals are scored.
Right now I am most impressed with Holl. He has developed more over the last season than any other Leafs players.
Bruh I'm watching the game right now. There's nothing wrong with improving depth especially with them playing well and with contracts needing to be reuped soon
