This is what:
LEAFS' #1 PP UNIT should look like ----
(Starting by player importance)
1) Marner ----> Playing on the Right-Wall. Capable of setting up all 5 of his teammates at any given time.
2) Rielly -----> Rielly will co-quarterback this PP unit from the Left side of the point. If we stack our #1 PP-Unit. Rielly will be the player open every single time due to the insane skill of the other players. Thus, I believe he will be the key-cog.
3) Matthews ----->Left slot / left-wall. Matthews will be given so many oppourtinities if the leafs completely stack the #1 PP-Unit. He will likely have a 'Grade-A' Opportunity EVERY-SINGLE PP if the leafs use these players.
4) Tavares -----> Behind the net / Near the net. Tavares will be given an oppurtunity to set-up plays behind the net once the opponents focus their attention on one of Matthews/Marner/Nylander. In this scenario, he will be used on the powerplay, similar to how Crosby is used on the Pens' powerplay.
5) Johnsson -----> Johnsson will be used as a front-of-the-net presence. Similar to how Hornquvist is used on the Pens' powerplay.
He will be given the oppurtunity to cash in empty net goals ..... Most of the focus will be implemented on Matthews/Tavares/Marner .... He will get the weakest player on him, if he plays his cards right (which I think he will), he will have the most PP goals on the leafs.
Keep in mind, Johnsson just tore-apart the AHL-Playoffs. He seemed like a brand-new player after his playoffs experience. He can be our Tyler Johnsson or Kucherov or Panarin.
Yup, I like it! Marner, Tavares & Matthews, Don't care who else....2nd unit won't be needed! If it is,then just leave Marner out there! Yes I'm kidding ,but can't wait....seriously the options available will be a coaches dream!
