JVR-Bozak-Clarkson
Winnik-Kadri-Kessel
Komarov-Santorelli-Holland
Panik-Carrick-Ashton
1) I absolutely love how the media still lists Bozak as the first line.
2) I'm a little surprised that Carrick got the call-up. Still think that he's just a guy who had a good training camp and that's it. Hopefully he works out here though.

I find that a bit odd too, but the Bozak line played 20 min to Kessel's 12 yesterday.

There's more parity in the top 9 in terms of skill, so the Leafs can't really be traditionally numbered. Carlyle clearly trusts Bozak and Phaneuf to be the 'shutdown' line as they were deployed against Johansen's last night. I like how they look without Kessel, as they play a simpler power forward possession game now, rather than unsustainable back-and-forth fast breaks.
As I had hoped, Carlyle is starting to use Kadri/Kessel to exploit bottom-six mismatches, generating more chances in fewer minutes now. Ideally, a Holland/Ashton group will also start to do the same once Booth and Lupul return to push more skill into the 4th line.

And you call yourself a fan . . .
