Description

Curious to see Marner drive the 3rd line, much like how Pittsburgh utilized Kessel, but you know... better. Obviously this will have a negative effect on our top 6, but in different situations players can always be moved around. I'm predicting Barabanov makes the top 6(shouldn't be hard, considering the competition).

In before the "slowest 4th line in the league" guys.

I think that marner would acc do well on that line and it probably gives them a secondary scoring boost. Only thing would be that this would reduce the ice time the big 4 forwards get.

On 5v5, yes. I’m double-shifting all these b*tches on the PP(except Marner. He’s on PK too)

I don’t like it. Matthews and marner are too good together. I’d put nylander there before I ever moved marner to the third line

I would try it when Abramov becomes 3C who is a huge scoring threat with how he is offensively. Some people in the industry, my russian colleagues said that Amirov reminds them of Kucherov in a huge way..

So if the Leafs can get this:

Amirov - Matthews - Hyman
Robertson - Tavares - Nylander
Mikheyev - Abramov - Marner

as their top-9 that would be deadly.

looks nasty, but you think Abramov makes it before Hallander?
