That's not how I would do it. I would put Kapanen in Kadri's spot and use Tavares more down low.
Yeah.
Move Tavares to where JVR was, so if teams cut the lane to Matthews, Marner passes to Tavares where his standing right side of net. There Tavares either can attempt to score or as soon as Tavares gets the puck, Kappy could make himself available for the pass/shot.
Right now, it's pretty much try to pass to Matthews and if that doesn't work, just pass it with no real game-plan. Rielly is ZERO threat to score, he just passes it to Matthews or Marner.
If Leafs do get a RHD like Parayko, that could help Leafs PP big time as well.
