I think Kadri Travares Marner...

[Duckrider]

Ounce Nylander is back and up to speed Nylander can take his place on the 3rd line.

You've been riding too many ducks.

You've been riding too many ducks.

That could be true but it would be one hell of a line!

 

[hamzarocks]

If we want to go top heavy we can go

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Kadri-Tavares-Marner
Hyman-Ennis-Kapanen
Johnsson-Lindholm-Brown/Leivo

 

[Mitch nylander]

That's a filthy line but I don't think it makes us better as a team..

I prefer a team more spread out like say

Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Johnsson - Kadri - Kapanen/Brown
Ennis - Lindholm - Kapanen/Brown

to a team like

Kadri - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Matthews - Kapanen
Ennis - Nylander - Hyman
Johnsson - Lindholm - Brown

 

[Duckrider]

My reasoning is Nylander. I think he's that good that he can replace Kadri as centre without any loss in performance so to speak. Plus it would be good for Nylander's confidence playing against 3rd line players.

Filthy.

 

[Randy Randerson]

keep your centers playing center - they can do more from that position and it's pretty inefficient cap spending to pay a center price for a winger position

 

[MR4]

I've thought of this but more along the lines of

Johnsson-Matthews-Kadri
Marleau-Tavares-Marner
Kapanen-Nylander-Hyman

 

[IPS]

Our top-9 has endless possibilities that will likely never be explored.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Kadri - - Matthews - - Kapanen
Marleau - - Tavares - - Marner
Hyman - Nylander - Johnsson
Ennis - - Lindholm - - Brown

My dream line up and it will happen i know it

Nylander can't come close to doing what Kadri does at centre. Were you joking?

 

[Nithoniniel]

Kadri has never looked as good at wing as he has on center. Willy is versatile and can do both. It makes sense to continue the way they do now.

 

[Not My Tempo]

I’d honestly rather go

Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Matthews - Kapanen
Johnsson- Kadri - Nylander
Ennis - Lindholm - Brown

Feel we’d actually be able to throw out 3 first lines

 

[Brobust]

I agree with you.

But I'd like to move Kadri to Matthews line and try to create a matchup, shutdown line.

not a bad idea

Maybe do a home and away team?
More balanced Away when you dont have last change.
Load up top 6 when you can choose last change.

 

[LeafShark]

Just put pp1 unit on when the faceoff is in the opponent's end and we're playing at home. Especially off of an icing.

Or spread it out more:

Marleau-Kadri-Brown
Johnson-Lindholm-Kapenan

Scary balance

 

[Guided by Veseys]

They’ve looked scary dominant when paired together briefly thus far. It actually seems like they get extra energy in being all paired together; I like to imagine it is a deep seeded pride from being a Knight and feeling that clique vibe.
Also, it has been ages since Kadri played wing and he has developed quite a bit since then. He probably would be an incredible winger especially since he would no longer be forced to drive the line.

 

[Notsince67]

No checking line then?

 

[Gallagbi]

No checking line then?

Doesn't look like we have one now either

 

[Leafidelity]

Have to admit the Knights line looked good last night. Might be an interesting option to throw out late in a game if the scoring has dried up. Felt like watching an even-strength powerplay unit.
