He wouldn't on that line. He would ride shotgun... That's what you do when you play with an elite talent like Matthews or Tavares. I don't even think he really drives the line right now but that's a conversation for another day.



Look at the numbers, man. T-47th in scoring which puts him T-42 among forwards. T-41 in goals ahead of Svech, Crosby, OV, Wheeler, Tavares, Matthew Tkachuk, etc. Next time do just a small amount of research.

People need to stop trading Nylander. Guy is on-pace for another 30 goal campaign and is easily the only player of the big four with a reasonable salary. He forechecks hard, goes to the dirty areas and drives the net (if you STILL doubt that given he had the most goals from there in the NHL last season then you don't watch the games) and is better defensively for a winger than given credit for. Problem being fans typically have no idea what a wing is responsible for defensively. Stop it. Stop trading him for every 40 point winger who hits people you can find.
