I completely disagree.
While it may give the ‘3rd line’ an advantage, it also makes the top two lines substantially weaker (especially that 2nd line)
I understand that these guys get paid to score points, but they will score a ton more points by playing with each other.
Matthews and Marner were electric all year. The chemistry they have is undeniable. Splitting that up would be a mistake.
Maybe forming a Nylander, Matthews, Marner line is something that could be looked into (and is something I want to see), but splitting the big 4 into 3 separate lines just isn’t the way to go.
