He looks like he's trying to do too much which isn't surprising, he's pretty much on his own defensively.
Yeah it's a strange position for Marner to be in. On one hand, he's in a sheltered role with two offensively gifted linemates which is a great opportunity to put up points. However, it may be the opposite of ideal as far as learning to be responsible defensively. It really makes me wonder what would happen if Marner was put on a line with Fehr/Moore/Kadri at centre and Brown/Komarov on the wing even for one game, would love to see that. I know it's not likely to happen but if this keeps up, Babcock is going to have to do something sooner or later.
