Eichel Matthews Laine vs McDavid Draisaitl Marner

[LordNeverLose]

McDavid
Eichel/Matthews/Laine
Drai
Marner


Chose the non-McD option but could see it either way

 

[Brock Radunske]

The 2nd pair is more talented but they don't have a shooter. Not a very balanced line.

 

[Steve]

I rank them like this;

McDavid
Matthews/Eichel (Someone should do a poll to see who's better)
Laine
Draisitl
Marner

So I would take the Matthews/Eichel/Marner one but it's close b/c of McDavid.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Mcdavid
Matthews/ eichel
Draisatl
Marner
Laine

I'd take the option with eichel, as he performs the best in his gm and coaching duties

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Matthews<McDavid
Laine>Marner
Eichel>Draisaitl

It's close. I'll take the Matthews trio.

 

[snipes]

McDavid

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

McDavid >> Matthews/Eichel > Laine > Draisaitl > Marner

McDavid being by and far the best of the bunch tips this in his trio's favor. The difference between Draisaitl+Marner and the other trio makes things pretty close, but you also have to take into account how much better McDavid makes his linemates and I prognosticate that the line with Connor would be more effective.

 

[EverybodyLovesRay]

McDavid >>>> Mathews
Draisaitl < Eichel
Marner < Laine

Maybe Eichel trio.

 

[Snowsii]

Even though MacDavid is best, his trio lacks a scorer.. And Matthews trio has two of them. IMO option A is more balanced one.

 

[CanadienShark]

First group.

McDavid
Eichel/Matthews/Laine
Draisaitl
Marner

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Mariner isn't a equal to Draisaitl. Not even close.

I'll go with McDavids team, he has enough separation that I can't vote against him. Gap between McDavid and Matthews is a lot bigger than the gap between Eichel/Draisaitl and Laine/Marner.

 

[authentic]

The one with McDavid, not really that tough of a choice. Marner will be a beast himself and we've seen what McDavid and Draisaitl can do together already.

 

[tony d]

Went with the 2nd trio.

 

[ijuka]

Guess I technically should pick McDavid but I guess I'll go with the group that has 3 of the 4 best players.

Even though MacDavid is best, his trio lacks a scorer.. And Matthews trio has two of them. IMO option A is more balanced one.

Well that's the thing. Matthews can drive his own line even if his linemates aren't the best whereas Eichel with Laine would be ridiculous. Surely group B wouldn't play Draisaitl on the same line as McDavid and Marner with McDavid for instance would have two over-passing players... The synergy isn't as good.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

McDavid
Eichel/Matthews/Laine
Draisaitl/Marner

Depends on how far apart you believe E/M/L are from D/M and if that gap is enough to bridge not choosing McDavid, which I believe it is.

Close, poll is almost a dead tie.

 

[wabagee]

Mcdavid
Matthews/ eichel
Draisatl
Marner
Laine

I'd take the option with eichel, as he performs the best in his gm and coaching duties

Marner is better than Laine? I bet if they were switched in this pole, Mcdavid's line would win by a landslide.

McDavid

Laine

Unfortunately Laine tilts this in McDavid Drai Marners favor.

That you will buckaroo!

MEL trio for sure. Other trio will just pass the puck and not shoot

 

[McVespa99]

If it were Matthews Eichel against the 2 top ten scrorers it would be an easy choice. Marner is a serious drag on the Mcdavid group though so it is pretty much a wash for me

 

[King1s]

McDavid >> Laine > Eichel > Matthews/Draisaitl >> Marner

McDavid line salary 27m or so
Eichel line salary 31m or so(just guessing)

Easily McDavid line
