[According to James Mirtle of The Globe & Mail](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/mirtle-leafs-dismantle-top-line-in-search-of-more-compete/article21316891/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Nazem Kadri](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/nazem-kadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Joffrey Lupul](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55006/joffrey-lupul?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) will accompany [Phil Kessel](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54905/phil-kessel?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on the Leafs' top line tonight, in an effort by Randy Carlyle to shake up his team after a terrible outing against the [Bruins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/boston-bruins?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

On Saturday night, Kadri's line was the only trio to pose much of an offensive threat to the Bruins' defence, and let's face it, he's always looked like a better C than Tyler Bozak. There's an argument to be made that the team is better off maintaining a dangerous second line, but it's interesting to see what kind of creative attack Kadri and Kessel can put together.
