Considering a New Look for the Toronto Maple Leafs 4th Line

The Toronto Maple Leafs need to try something a bit different this season; shaking up the tactics and make-up of the fourth line might be part of the answer.

Last season, the Toronto Maple Leafs fourth line was typically a combination of Wayne Simmonds, Jason Spezza and Pierre Engvall or Nick Ritchie – hardly the fastest group.

Looking ahead to the new season, the team could opt for a line that looks vastly different from last year’s group. With Nick Ritchie now in Arizona and Jason Spezza having retired, it already is going to be a different look regardless.
