Now that the full roster is set. Btw Leafs have not needed a shootout yet. Only team. We win in regulation. Who are your deadly three? Mine are Boz jk

Johnsson Tavares and Matthews Nylander and Ennis as backups. What say you?

Marner and Nylander are the craftiest players with the puck so I would say those two for sure.

I could see Ennis getting a shot as a specialist. He has proven to be pretty reliable in practice in the shootout. Also seems like a Babcock move. He doesn't always like to defer to the most skilled players.

I don’t set one for any game. We have great options in Tavares, Nylander, Kapanen, Kadri, Matthews, Marner, even Marleau and Johnsson.

Whoever has the hot hands in that specific game really

Nylander is only 11% (1/9) in his career, not sure why he's getting votes. For me it's:

Matthews (36%)
Ennis (33%)
Marner (31%)

HM: Marleau (30%), Tavares (27%), Kadri (20%)

Johnsson and Kapanen are interesting options, but there's not much data on them.

Babs has said he prefers the hot hand(s) in that specific game going into it.

tbh I think Kappy would be our best in the S/O.

I'd put Matthews and Tavares.

Third player can be whoever is doing well in that game between Nylander/Marner/Kadri

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

I thank the dieties every night before bed that my eyes have not been forced to witness a shootout this year. The dieties look an awful lot like the Leafs roster.

Babcock doesn't seem to give a shit about his shootout lineup. He tends to use the slots as a reward for whoever plays well that game.

I'm not inclined to disagree with that philosophy.

This is where it hurts to lose someone like Bozak but honestly i don't think it will come into play too often. Obviously were on a good OT streak but we have such a stacked squad for 3v3 chances are pretty high the game will end in under 5 minutes one way or another.
