My playoff roster

Not gunna lie I have been assuming Matt would start playoffs but now I’m 100 percent convinced it’s going to be Sammy also Lilly has played himself out of game 1

Holl has been very good lately. Certainly better than Timmons and Lilly if we’re being honest. I like lilly and believe he is a good defenceman that will continue to get better for us, but I’m not sure I trust him out there under pressure/physicality just yet. I would be hesitant playing him against Tampa but if we move into later rounds I would definitely play him. It also doesn’t help that the only available spot is next to Reilly, which is a pretty big defensive responsibility.

Liljegren should play over Schenn, "big hits" are fun but getting hemmed in and being all together slow as mud hurts the team too much. I think Schenn makes Rielly worse as well. They need someone who can skate better with Rielly.

Lafferty has earned his spot. I would expect Keefe to prioritize players with experience over Knies as this is a must-win series for the leafs.

If Murray plays 1 game down the stretch I'm still confident he starts game 1. Lily has been the target of the coach since they traded away his best friend. Schenn and rielly and holl are going to get destroyed at some point.
