It seems silly that one fourth liner could make such a difference, but am I the only one who feels like Sean Kuraly being on that 4th line will completely change the flow of the game in our favor?
Toronto's most extended zone time has been against the 4th line. I love Acciari when he's free to go make hits and dig against the wall, but he's being eaten alive trying to cover all the defensive duties as an undersized center here. Kuraly's presence frees Acciari from a lot of that, and if possession turns around and they're actually getting up ice with regularity, Wagner's offensive upside can come into play.
