Sorting out who’s going to claim the premier wing positions on the Toronto Maple Leafs roster is turning into quite the puzzle this season. The buzz? Max Domi is front and center, expected to team up with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies right out of the gate. But hold up—if Domi stumbles, Matias Maccelli, a seasoned third-liner from Utah and Arizona, might just step up to skate alongside John Tavares and William Nylander.
