Thread: My rundown of a Matthews Marner split lineup
More like:

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Kerfoot/Ritchie-Tavares-Marner
Kerfoot/Ritchie-Kampf-Kase/Simmonds
Robertson-Brooks-Spezza

Kerfoot/Ritchie can be moved between lines 2/3 depending on the situation.
Kampf was the 3C shutdown line in Chicago, and Dubas already said his addition moves someone to the wing (Kerfoot)
Simmonds seems to be the odd guy out tbh, unless Kase doesn't work out or to swap him in and give Spezza some rest as per their agreement of not playing back to backs.
A Robertson-Brooks-Spezza line would be extremely fun to watch.

Engvall will either be waived/traded, and Mikheyev likely traded. It's been said the organization wants to move on from these guys. I would rather keep Engvall and waive him because he's at least serviceable and can play the PK.
Mikheyev can be waived and buried as well if he doesn't get traded but he'll count as like 525k against the cap and leave them with roughly 50k in cap space in this scenario, not ideal but it works.

Brooks was good with Spezza last year, I don't get why everyone is sleeping on this guy still.

If Robertson doesn't work out and needs another year, send him back down and Simmonds fits in on the 4th line LW no problem.
