Can you explain breaking up Nylander and Matthews?
Or will you just say Babcock is smarter than you so you don’t even think about it?
When it comes to hockey Babcock is smarter than me.
3 goals in 30 games will get you booted off the top line every time, not saying all 30 games was played with Matthews but when he did play with Austin that line has been very ineffective. Some people have suggested that Matthews didn't want Hyman and Nylander as linemates, not that is a good reason but the rumor is out there.
Willie has been much better since the ASG, 5 points in 9 games, might be time to try him again. I'm sure with 20-ish games remaining Willie will get more than one shot at playing with Austin again.
