So Nylander has to learn to play centre against Krejci and his line. Don't like that at all.

just a thought could try it in the regular season a few times. maybe move kerfoot to 2c, have Nylander play wing, let spezza take 3c and have kapanen move down to 3rw

Nylander is more than capable at center. Better than Krejci.

I agree that he's capable of centre when playing at his best but slow down... at his best you can make the case that he can play better offensively, but in his own zone as a centre krejci is much better. Nylander might be more dangerous, but he's not a better center

Only Tavares has a higher percentage of driving possession than Nylander over the past 3 seasons.

It's actually not a great idea. The key to beating the Bruins is to have as many good players as possible not playing against Bergeron. Bergeron is the best defensive forward of his generation. He can almost literally shut down a line.

Everyone complained two years ago that Matthews had a crappy playoffs (Bergeron shut him down) and last year Bergeron kept Tavares/Marner quiet at evens.

Back in the Kessel days there was over half a season of NHL hockey where there wasn't a goal against when Chara and Bergeron were on the ice together.

The key is to remember there is just one Bergeron line.

He's going to effectively neuter one line at evens. Spread the wealth.

(Or hope he ages. He is already like 32 or 33. Haha)

I don't hate the idea, I just don't see the need unless we're down a goal or two.

Actually I've been an advocate of moving Nylander to centre. But he have to tell him when the playoffs are over so he can get his mind and skills ready to play centre come October. Having Nylander playing centre now or is the suggestion he only plays centre against Boston....well that won't work.
