Oliver Ekman-Larsson has transformed his game after a buyout, adapting well to Florida's physical style, generating high penalty minutes while playing minimal ice time.
Despite losing Tyler Bertuzzi to a lucrative contract in Chicago, the Leafs successfully integrated Max Pacioretty into the lineup, offering similar grit and scoring potential.
Pacioretty's arrival has allowed Nylander more freedom in the offensive zone, exemplified by a turnover against Boston that created a prime scoring opportunity.
The ongoing roster adjustments highlight the strategic emphasis on physical play and creating offensive chances through aggressive forechecking and seamless line combinations.
