Is this from the musical?

The best part is Robertson had to basically be the best player in the league this preseason to make the opening roster, in addition to some injuries to Krok and Dewar. He was for sure gonna be a healthy scratch if he didn't give them absolutely no choice.

We're not a competent organization, and aside from maybe a 12 month stretch before Dubas saw his shadow and pussied out, I'm not sure if we've ever been one.
 
Last year's Leafs lines:


Knies-Matthews-Marner 406min, 67.0gf%, 59.0xgf% < (this year's starting Line 1)
Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi 148min, 59.3gf%, 66.4xgf%
Knies-Matthews-Nylander 121min, 57.2gf%, 60.8xgf%
Bertuzzi-Matthews-Marner 96min, 33.0gf%, 68.5xgf%
Jarnkrok-Matthews-Marner 80min, 65.4gf%, 43.9xgf% < no bueno
Holmberg-Matthews-Marner 40min, 82.0gf%, 54.1xgf%
Bertuzzi-Matthews-Nylander 38min, 61.9gf%, 61.0xgf%


Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander 365min, 58.0gf%, 59.7xgf%
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Marner 124min, 49.3gf%, 43.6xgf% < no bueno
Knies-Tavares-Nylander 78min, 30.3gf%, 44.3xgf% < no bueno
McMann-Tavares-Nylander 75min, 75.0gf%, 60.8xgf%
McMann-Tavares-Robertson 53min, 81.9gf%, 51.8xgf%
McMann-Tavares-Marner 40min, 74.5gf%, 54.8xgf%
McMann-Tavares-Jarnkrok 39min, 46.8gf%, 74.5xgf%
Domi-Tavares-Nylander 32min, 00.0gf%, 68.3xgf% < (this year's starting Line 2)


Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok 182min, 60.3gf%, 57.3xgf%
Bertuzzi-Domi-Nylander 110min, 56.3gf%, 39.2xgf% < no bueno
Knies-Holmberg-Robertson 50min, 54.0gf%, 50.1xgf% < (closest to this year's starting Line 3?)
Knies-Kampf-Domi 48min, 100.0gf%, 37.2xgf% < no bueno
Gregor-Domi-Robertson 35min, 33.4gf%, 61.6xgf%
Domi-Holmberg-Jarnkrok 33min, 76.1gf%, 74.1xgf%


Gregor-Kampf-McMann 158min, 55.0gf%, 50.6xgf%
Gregor-Kampf-Reaves 104min, 16.8gf%, 34.0xgf% < arguably the worst line in the league
Dewar-Kampf-Reaves 60min, 49.0gf%, 66.3xgf%
Holmberg-Kampf-Reaves 58min, 75.3gf%, 72.7xgf%
Gregor-Kampf-Jarnkrok 45min, 50.0gf%, 30.3xgf% < no bueno
Gregor-Holmberg-Reaves 37min, 00.0gf%, 38.8xgf% < no bueno
Gregor-Kampf-Dewar 40min, 49.5gf%, 53.7xgf%

Any Gregor-Reaves combo was a disaster. But surprisingly there were a couple of Kampf-Reaves combos that were ok - when they had Dewar or Holmberg on that line. Dewar and McMann were even able to make a Gregor-Kampf combo ok, though Jarnkrok couldn't save that pair.

so i guess maybe there's some hope that Lorentz can help that line avoid the complete vortex of suck, but i doubt it. Lorentz seems more the caliber of Gregor than the calibre of McMann/Holmberg/Dewar.


p.s. best xgf% for 4 possible lines from last year made of guys still on the team:

Line 1: Knies-Matthews-Marner 59.0%
Line 2: McMann-Tavares-Nylander 60.8%
Line 3: Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok 57.3%
Line 4: Holmberg-Kampf-Reaves 72.7%

Depends on what you mean by “country” but if we’re including folk/western sounding stuff, there’s been a big shift from peak “bro country” a few years ago. There’s some good stuff out there.
 
They've made the cap work to start the season, but they know players have yet to be waived/traded. I doubt very much that they will choose to carry those bonuses over.
 
Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Pacioretty - Domi - Robertson
Holmberg - Kampf - Jarnkrok
(Lorentz/Reaves)

Rielly - Tanev
McCabe - Liljegren
Ekman-Larsson - Hakanpaa
(Benoit)

Stolarz
Woll

Why are we dipping into next year's cap to sign Pacioretty?

At least make the bonuses vest at meaningful levels so we can pull the chute if he's old and cooked. 10 games? Fuck off. Even 35...fuck off. He played 47 last year and scored 4 goals. Why are we taking any risk on that?

I’m sure he would have taken 1.5M sans bonus but Leafs didn’t want to tie up this years cap space
