The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to have a big bounce-back season, and with new players on the roster, many are making predictions about what the lineup will be.
Throughout the offseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs were able to acquire players like Dakota Joshua, Nicolas Roy, and Matias Maccelli.
These players are expected to be significant contributors in various ways, although the team's opening night lineup is still relatively unknown.
Having said that, there have been numerous projections making their way online, and there are numerous hockey fans who are very excited to see what the Leafs do.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward lineup
The Daily Faceoff recently came through with a projection of what the Maple Leafs' forward lines will look like next season, and they are quite fascinating.
The first line would consist of Matthew Knies, Auston Matthews, and Macelli. Meanwhile, the second line would start with Max Domi, and would then feature John Tavares and William Nylander.
Moreover, the third line will have Dakota Joshua, Nicolas Roy, and Bobby McMann. Lastly, the fourth line is Steven Lorentz, Scott Laughton, and Calle Jarnkrok.
Whether or not these are the final lines still remains to be seen. However, it is clear that the bottom six is better than it was last season.
Of course, the addition of Maccelli on the first line could either be amazing or a complete disaster. He had a down year, but there is a feeling he could get back to his old ways.
Whatever the case may be, it seems clear that this is going to be a transition year for the Maple Leafs, which could either be good or bad.
For now, Leafs fans will just have to be patient, and hope that the team can do something good.
