Comments From Craig Berube Confirm Significant Change for Leafs' Opening Night Roster

Friday was an eventful day at training camp for the Maple Leafs. First, they announced that Scott Laughton was out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Shortly after, they announced that David Kampf had been placed on waivers, which came as a shock to many as he had taken reps in Laughton's spot during practice.

Ahead of their pre-season finale on Saturday night, the non-playing group saw Domi taking reps at 3rd line center, which had many wondering what Berube's thought process was for opening night.

It was a burning question for Berube following practice and he explained his logic behind the move despite having a ready fourth-line center in Kampf.

Clearly, Berube is looking to establish a more offensive third line with Laughton out, and has no plans for Kampf to take on Laughton's role. His decision almost confirms that Kampf will either be sent to the Toronto Marlies or traded.

It would appear that Nicolas Roy will take over Laughton's duties while he recovers in some combination with Steven Lorentz, Calle Jarnkrok, Nick Robertson and Easton Cowan.

For Domi, it is an opportunity to do what has been asked of him offensively, in shooting the puck more -- especially if Cowan ends up on his wing as a distributor.
