Here's how the new Maple Leafs have fared through first 7 games

"Perhaps no new Maple Leaf has been as inconsistent as Maccelli through the first seven games. He's gone from first line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, to second line, to being demoted to the bottom six throughout the first few weeks. Maccelli is averaging 13:49 of ice-time per game, he's recorded just two points in seven games, and what's really stood out the most is his inability to manage the puck."

"Roy has been a pleasant surprise for many of Leafs Nation who didn't know too much about his game. He's given the Maple Leafs a right-handed centre, one they've needed ever since Jason Spezza retired, and it's eased the pressure of some faceoffs in the defensive zone. Roy's averaged 12:24 of ice-time so far through his first seven games as a Maple Leaf, and while he's much better suited in a defensive stopper type of role, there's more offense to give in his game."

Matias Maccelli has shown inconsistent play through seven games, sliding between the top six and the bottom six while averaging 13:49 and posting two points. He has struggled with puck management, making high-risk plays that have produced costly neutral-zone turnovers and limited chemistry with top lines. Maccelli's style does not fit a checking role, creating personnel questions if top-six production does not materialize. Nicolas Roy has delivered a right-handed centre and defensive faceoff relief, averaging 12:24 and recording one goal and one assist. Roy projects as a defensive stopper with upside for more secondary offense after a 15-goal season in Vegas.
