Pick a winger for Matthews

[saltming]

Nylander and Tkachuk with Matthew would be sexy.

Matthews an Tkachuk were a force in the world jrs add Nylander to that

 

[LeafsBro]

I think more of a play making type would suit him ie. Kane, Goudreau, Voracek.

Our current RW option has the potential to be pretty good tho.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Kapanen - Matthews - Marner

 

[saltming]

T. Seguin

We already have nylander who is like a Seguin clone

 

[JayDog17]

Marner

 

[hamzarocks]

Give matthews the rat and see what magic could happen.

Oh geez lol

Fasinating to think what some of these lines could do. Radulov? Yes please

Haven't we already given Zach Ratman to Matthews' LW? That dead dog is even worse than any rat in the hockey world.

 

[Raging Bull]

Laine.

Hyman - Matthews - Laine

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Laine.

Hyman - Matthews - Laine

Too bad there is no dislike emote for this kind of posts.

 

[Tall Morty]

McDavid Matthews Crosby .

 

[TeamBester]

Tarasenko Matthews Marner

 

[member 147413]

LW - Tkachuk
RW - Wheeler

 

[LeafChief]

Laine and Matthews together would see the boards explode.

 

[Morbo]

Nathan Mackinnon

 

[Apotheosis]

Marchand.

Marchand - Matthews - Marner

lol

 

[lebdafor norris]

Jamie Benn and Blake Wheeler

 

[nsleaf]

Zack and his twin brother Zeke Hyman.

Seriously though, McDavid, who else?

 

[cupcrazyman]

Anyone > Hyman

 

[cupcrazyman]

McDavid Matthews Crosby .

Now You're Talkin' !

 

[IBeL34f]

Marchand.

Marchand - Matthews - Marner

lol

I loathe Marchand, but that line would be absolutely ridiculous.

Marner is to good to play with Matthews. It's fun for a bit but better served with Mitch running his own line. Wasn't anyone watching him while Matthews was out? I don't want them on the same line, I want the other team unable to match us.
Matthews could use a PWF though.

Gotta remember, though, that Marner playing on Matthews' right side means Willy isn't. Allowing Nylander to center his own line brings its own set of challenges for opponents.
I do agree, though, that having Matthews and Marner driving separate lines is a ridiculous luxury that most teams don't have. It's nice to imagine a time where our depth is so good that Marner and Matthews on the same line doesn't take away from that depth.

All they need is Nylander and an average left winger who can make the routine plays and is responsible defensively...
That would be dynamite.

When we drafted Matthews, Marner, Nylander, I envisioned 3 lines. 3 lines and a speedy/specialty 4th line is what wins and sustains.
Matthews
Kadri...Marner
Nylander

There's your core, lock it up. That's why I move end of the contract guys like JVR to keep replenishing.
That core surrounded by an influx of cost effect talent makes you a force for years.
