Well thought out post, kudos for your explanation. I am not sure this strategy would work for Toronto, playing these 2 lines more would likely has a negative impact in the defensive zone, where Toronto really needs to improve in order to be considered a top end contender. The natural tendency for a player is to conserve a little energy on the ice by not working as hard on the defensive end. More minutes means more odd man rushes against, and more high quality shots on your goalie. Toronto is already one of the top goal scoring teams in the league, playing your top 6 more will likely not have a major positive effect in goals for, but will really show up in the defensive zone.
