Should be

JVR Matthews Marner ..... - Primary scoring line

Hyman Kadri Brown ...... -Match up and shut down line

Leivo Marleau Nylander ..... -Secondary scoring let Nylander and Marleau share the centre ice duties

Martin Moore Komarov ..... -4th line
Beautiful lineup. Komarov on the 4th line where he belongs and bozak in the pressbox/traded

Realistically would like to see...

Hyman --- Matthews --- Marner
Marleau --- Nylander --- Brown
Komarov -- Kadri -- Soshnikov
VanRiemsdyk - Bozak - Martin

Rielly - - - - Zaitsev
Gardiner - Hainsey
Borgman - Carrick

I really Like Rielly with Hainsey, but I think Gardiner may need him for than Rielly does at this point

Also, Rotate Martin and Leivo depending on the opposing team*​

Babcock rotates his RW on the top line, preferring either Nylander or Brown to play with Hyman and Matthews.

Because the game is in Toronto, and Babcock has last change and can line match he can decide if he wants to play Kadri's line Marleau -- Kadri -- Komarov again Monahan and Gaudreau in a shutdown role of if its Matthews line he prefers..

If Babcock picks Auston then he likely goes with Brown who is better defensively and if he wants to make it a little more offensive than Nylander might get that call as he is heating up with 5 points in his last 6 games.

YEAH, HYMANS not going anywhere.

So, JUST GIVE IT UP YOU ALL!!!!

Its astonishing that some fans can't accept that Babcock prefers Hyman with Matthews and there is a 99.9% certainty that he starts games playing alongside.

If fans want to have fun with lines then guessing who their RW will be any given Sunday, is where it has an opportunity to happen as its been a rotating door.

When Nylander is going he prefers him on the top line, and when Willie is struggling or the line needs better defensive awareness he prefers Brown.
