i would say he's worse by a little bitBut still at least as good if not better than Bozak.

This isn't even the line I want, but the season before last season Komarov-Kadri-Brown had Kadri score 30 goals, which is easily the same line configuration as Hyman-Kadri-Brown.Fans wanting to see Hyman - Nylander - Kapanen is like someone posting their lineup and you see Hyman - Kadri - Brown on one line; do people want Kadri to score 15 goals? No? So, why would anybody suggest such thing
He scored 40 points this season, on a line half the season with Marner when he was going on like a 90 point PPG tear. This isn't Marleau of 5 years ago.I see Marleau in a third line a lot. He is too good for that. Hyman doesn't have me sold as a first liner.
Babcock hates this but I like Marleau, Matthews, Marner on the first
No we haven't, he's going to the AHL, and he'll be happy for it considering how Rosen's turned out with a season of AHL development.About 99% of you have already forgot about Ozhiganov?
I like it.My lineup:
Johnsson-Matthews-Marner
Grundstrom-Kadri-Hyman
Marleau-Nylander-Kapanen
Leivo-Aaltonen-Brown
Rielly-Dermott
Gardiner-Hainsey
Marincin-Zaitsev
Call up LD: Rosen
Call up RD: Holl, Lilly maybe in 2nd half
Andersen-Sparks
Which is still really good.he would have to play C which is a position he isn't good at and he put a 50 point pace when he was at C this season...
No your wrong again.i would say he's worse by a little bit
50 points for nylander would be disappointing.Which is still really good.
While the first line has a lot of skill, they need someone to fight for pucks and play along the boards, And Hyman, Brown, Kapanen and Marleau all do that better than JohnssonMy lineup:
Johnsson-Matthews-Marner
Grundstrom-Kadri-Hyman
Marleau-Nylander-Kapanen
Leivo-Aaltonen-Brown
Rielly-Dermott
Gardiner-Hainsey
Marincin-Zaitsev

No I'm not wrong again. He is clearly an inferior defensive player compared to bozak. What you say to argue against me is quite pathetic.No your wrong again.

Wrong on Brown & Marleau, Johnsson's better, and considering Johnsson>Marleau and Matthews>Kadri below the goal line, it'd be amazing linemates for Marner.While the first line has a lot of skill, they need someone to fight for pucks and play along the boards, And Hyman, Brown, Kapanen and Marleau all do that better than Johnsson
In his first season as centre, thats fine.50 points for nylander would be disappointing.
Nylander has back to back 60 points seasons. No way will it be fine if he declines to 50.In his first season as centre, thats fine.
Kadri had 50 points his first season and is a 60 point centre. Nylander also has more talent then Kadri.
no not everyoneI think everyone here would LOVE to see
Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Hyman - Nylander - Kapanen
Marleau - Kadri - Brown
Grundstrom/Engvall - Lindholm/Aaltonen - T.Moore*
Wildcard is the 4th line, no way he puts a bunch of rookies on that line. I wouldn't mind keeping Martin in on the 4th line, because I'd rather play those top-3 lines a ****-ton anyways.
Martin - Lindholm - Engvall*/T.Moore* (Big, physical, energetic 4th line that can play. A 'slightly' worse version of Nashville's Watson - Gaudreau - Sissons)
I've sometimes defended Zach Hyman on here and I still think he does some things really well. But this is inexcusable for a top 6 player. Hyman can't make a meaningful pass if his life depended on it.
no not everyone
Nylander has done nothing to prove to me he is an NHL centre, Kapanen is at best a 3rd line winger at the NHL level but is best suited to playing the 4th, yes lot's o speed and he has the will to get his nose dirty, but his hands aren't 2nd line quality
why is Johnsson on the first line? the left winger that plays with Matty is the guy who goes and gets pucks, because I for one, certainly don't want Matty doing it or wasting Magic's assets as a mucker and grinder...we know Johnsson has speed and can score, but if you've been watching the AHL playoffs, you should have come to the realization by now that physicality isn't his strong suit.
and why are people penciling in Lindholm?
most of the time Hyman is making those passes with a big ugly and determined NHL Dman hanging all over him, who just may be a little angry that Zach just took the puck off of him
If Nylander gets 50 points while learning more of the defensive game and learning about center duties in the NHL, you call that a win.
