Leafs roll expensive top line worth close $30 M in tonight's game

The Toronto Maple Leafs were scared to be without their captain John Tavares tonight, who was questionable with a virus, however it seems like he will dress.

But that’s not what the Arizona Coyotes will have to fear.

The Leafs made changes to their lineup nonetheless and based on the pregame line rushes, it appears that William Nylander, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner will form the top line.

That’s a combined AAV of $29,489,366, per Chris Johnston.

Let’s hope it pays off for the Maple Leafs and that no one gets injured on that expensive top line against the Coyotes.
