So from what I've seen after day one this is what the opening lineup could look like in October.

Robertson Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander
Bunting Kampf Seymonov
Mikheyev Spezza Simmonds

That third line is a very defensive line who's very responsible in their own end. All three can play on the penalty kill and if seymonov can clean us his skating he's going to be a valuable player on that complete new third line. Fourth line is very interesting for me because it's just so different. Simmonds is the rough and tough net front player while Spezza plays a more creative and passive way with the ability to score in different ways while Mikheyev plays a very fast two way game. And with extras like Anderson, Malgin, Engvall, Amirov I'm liking what I see plus Dubas can add a left winger to play on the top line to see if Robertson can really crack the lineup. Stop hating on the Dubas moves just because you don't know the names of the player doesn't mean there bad 😐

I know who all of the players are that Dubas brought in and I really liked the Bunting signing.

The problem is, he didn't replace Hyman, he didn't make the team better than it was last season. This is the exact same team except without Hyman. It's a bottom 6 of plugs with the big 4.

@LeafsGm does this team look better to you than the team that hasn't won a round in years?

And the beat goes on. Beginning to think the Leaf's administration is just a business, and they really don't care about the fans; the arena is sold out every year? Let's wait till next year, or maybe they should have traded one or two of the top four on the Leaf's payroll.
Still believe Shanahan and Dubas need to go. We'll have the same excuses next year; payroll.
Go leafs!

@Leafsgm. Not saying I wasn't aware of some of these guys, but typically if you have been a finge NHLer for years, you're not likely an impact player. You are counting on at least 4 new players in the top 9 to do well. The contracts of under $1M they signed kinda tells you what level these guys have been at.
