The leafs do have an issue with Domi on the wing, now i'm not saying that's where he doesn't play better it just makes it an issue at center. Matthews, JT, Kampf and Holmberg would be the 4 center's.
1. Bert-Matthews-Domi
2. McMann-JT-Marner
3.Knies-Holmberg-Willie
4.Jarnkrok-Kampf- Reaves/Dewar

Maybe after the past few games....maybe Reilly, Liljegren and Edmundson should be scratched
Ya I am fiddling with my version of the playoff lineup and its tough as you say without Domi at C...I think atm its hard to break up that top line but I could see a raucous type line with Domi at C...maybe with Dewar and Knies...thing is Domi is such a great passer so I would want him with Matthews if Marner is not on that wing.
I sort of like Marner on a more defence first line, I would like to see what he does with his own line...something like Knies/Holmberg/Marner...he can drive play with those two and not necessarily be pass first.
So many options which is great! And guys are fighting for spots which is great! And they didn't load up at the deadline...so I think they are in a good spot.
I think you have to be in that room to really know?
But for me to just demote McMann to bottom 6 and bring back all the injured guys. etc is a mistake...guys need to play their way on and off the lineup.
Like Gio, how can you take him out...he is on a mission?
