While it's clear that Matthews and Marner will be on that line, the third spot remains open for consideration, with several contenders in the mix.
David Alter provided insights into the combinations employed by Coach Keefe during the initial 10 minutes of practice.
Here's what Alter unveiled:
While it's expected that the Leafs might experiment with various line combinations throughout the season, it's intriguing to observe that, for the time being, Bertuzzi has secured his place in the lineup.
Bertuzzi arguably stands as Treliving's top addition this summer, possessing the capability to make an impact in every game-a quality that Toronto has been seeking for a while.
Teaming up with Matthews and Marner is likely to bolster his performance this season and potentially pave the way for him to negotiate a significant salary increase next year.
