The Toronto Maple Leafs have an interesting defensive core to say the least. There are three sure-fire locks to be in the top four: Jake Gardiner, Morgan Rielly, and Nikita Zaitsev.
After that, they have Ron Hainsey, who is automatically slotted as a top four because of the lack of depth. Then, the bottom pairing is up in the air and could be comprised include any two of: Connor Carrick, Calle Rosen, Andreas Borgman, Travis Dermott, Martin Marincin and maybe even Timothy Liljegren (although I wouldn’t bet on it). But not all of these defensemen are going to put up points even with the forwards they get to play with.
