He seems like he's been shooting the puck more lately. Ripped a laser off the crossbar last night.
Laser?! It moved like a 1950s flying saucer!

Maybe they should just replicate the London line? Bring in a strong two way centerman at some point and shop for a long term power forward to pair with Marner.
Laser is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of Marner’s shot.
It reminds me more of when you throw a balloon

Sounds like Matthews and Hyman.That is essentially how one would surround Marner with players to bring out the best in him. A big power forward and a good 2-way Centre that plays in traffic.
Sounds like Matthews and Hyman.
Agreed, Marner or Nylander will carry one line and Matthews the otherI think the intent would be to have Marner on a separate functional unit. Like how Toews and Kanes each do their own thing.
Carl Grundstrom might be a good fit.If Hyman is indeed there to stay with Matthews for a few years, maybe Korshkov would be a good LW on Marner's line?
that is a jokeLOL I love this.
HOF Hyman = Hyman on Forecheck! He's a HOF player.
Actually, I believe the oppositions clog up the passing lanes and let him shoot; give no respect.Maybe its just me, but I feel like Marner has made a pretty noticeable effort to shoot much more this year, and I think part of his struggles is that he is trying to shoot (or move into a shooting position) instead of making the wild plays he was capable of last season.
Grunny crossed my mind too, but I thought of Yegor based on size. Good call though regardless.Carl Grundstrom might be a good fit.
Around 1:37 mark.
Marner has 1 primary assist and 1 goal so far. He needs to be carried until his scoring wakes up. Switch him with Willie for a few games.
This is the downside of increased expectations on winning.
The kid is 20. Some of the comments here are significantly unfair.

Definitely.
He isn't McDavid or Matthews,.
Only 14 games into his 2nd. season, and hardly the time to panic over a challenging start.
