2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion
- Thread starter herman
- Start date
I am hoping for this:
4. From a deployment standpoint, I think the biggest thing I’d like to see is the Leafs using Roy to free up Auston Matthews more. Matthews will naturally play a bunch against Nick Suzuki on Wednesday night — and rightfully so — but at home, Berube should be able to turn matchups inside out whenever he pleases.
Matthews finished with the second-lowest offensive-zone faceoff percentage of his career last season, and the team needs more from him offensively. They’ve added to their depth to make themselves more well-rounded. The biggest benefit is freeing up Matthews to provide more offensively, which they need him to do. Let’s see it happen now.
