Line Combos: Where should Marner play?

[stickty111]

Marner and Bozak are on the 4th line cause thats where they deserve to be.

Perhaps. But Bozak is on his way out of town and Marner is 20 with a very bright future. Komarov deserves to be demoted as well. JVR too but that would be useless

I am pleasantly surprised at the uptick in Martins performance. He should be rewarded.

New line proposal

Hyman Matthews Brown
Martin Nylander Marner
Marleau Kadri Komarov
JVR Bozak Kapanen
Leivo, Moore

I can't see any better way to make use of our players right now.

Would be even worse than we are now

Disagree. We have right now 1 line that works. That's Matthew with Hymen and Nylander. What I propose is what Chicago and other teams do and Split the best 2 offensive forwards. Marleau with a quality playmaker like Nylander at centre would be amazing. Sould feel normal for Marleau. Kadri and JVR have chemistry. And Bozak and Komarov only getting 10 minutes would be a blessing.

People around here think the idea is radical. Take a look at the thread I wrote about splitting them up and how I thought Nylander was starting stagnate on the line developmentally. It's easy mode, the two are so good they just casually skate around and Nylander find Matthews, gets his Apple, Matthews gets his goal and the rest of the team is burning around them.

I agree.

Look at the poster. You shouldn't expect anything less.

Pot meet kettle.

Although the fact that you think my opinion on Mitch two years ago is relevant today is well... pathetic to put it bluntly.

Mitch was pretty good last night though, so credit where credit is due. More nights like that should result in more W's. Which is the most important thing, and not some meaningless draft squabble from two years ago.

Marner has not played well so far this season, no question.
But if you look at the last 3 games he has 2 goalposts and a couple of great goaltender saves.....and still makes those pp passes usually to jvr , which haven't been converted.
Seems to me that if a couple of them had gone in people would be saying that he's back...
I think that one goal and the monkey will hop off his back and he'll be mitch ( pun intended) better..
Of course it depends on whether he gets linemates with skill...
