With that forward talent there should be nonissue. Marner with giveaways and plays oh so soft, Tavares useless and also a giveaway machine, Nylander good when he has lots of room, only Matthews is a guy that will get dirty to create or keep a chance alive.
Bertuzzi and Domi barely there Jarnkrok has the longest scoring streak on the Leafs now at 4 games, goes to show the offense the Leafs have.

Leafs fell to the old trope of needing to get tougher to play against. You can't just add tough guys. That's just not how it works.
Having a big oaf on the ice for 12 minutes a night allowing the other team to score against you doesn't make the other team scared. If you want to be a tougher team to play against, your big minute guys need to be tougher to play against. There's no substitute. Adding Ryan Reaves just makes you worse. That's it.
