No Stammer:

JVR-Kadri-Nylander
Brown-Matthews-Marner

This is my guess

- WingmanWillie




Too many young guys on the second line. I'd think that komarov would be with Matthewsif that's the way it goes.

Whats marner, 170lbs wet?

He may be a better skater than reinhart and that will help, but reinhart is bigger and i was still suprised and borderline impressed last season watching reinhart get blasted time and again, and going back for more. Every time.

Reinhart was entertaining. He would post pictures and videos of himself on IG getting blown up and stuff. He has good fun with it.

There was one time he was crushed into the boards and you couldn't see him at all in the picture just the defender and he posted it say.... "Come and find me!!! Marco!!" I got a good laugh.

I am willing to bet if healthy.. Eichel jumps to 65+ pts next season and Reinhart to 55+

Marner and Nylander are both about 170-175 at best being 5'11

Reinhart is about 195 at 6'1. That is a big difference. That's his point.

just because one guy is bigger it doesnt make him better

and the word on Marner is that he still has a growth spurt.. his brother grew after he was 18..

As for nylander, he intrigues me. Has played in the A for what equates to over a full season, and got a taste of the NHL last year. Has managed to stay healthy thus far. It is very possible he has a middling year next year as many other factors come into play for a 1st full season in the NHL.

Marner will need at least the same type of experience in the A, problem is he cant even get it next year.

Matthews will be very good at times and im sure invisible at others, just the same as eichel. 40-50pts would be a good expectation out of him.

No one said that it did. Show me where I said that Reinhart is bigger so that means better?

I was just restating that what the other guy said on size. Nothing about talent.

See this is where that "you see things and don't comprehend them" comes in again. You just want to read something and take it as negative so you fuel your rage more. Just stop being a black eye and have a normal conversation.

Oh course, it's Buffalo, not Toronto. I'm 30, I can't recall a big name free agent ever signing in Toronto.

Nylander is up to 190. Marner has grown too. Talking about 18-19 yr olds.

Like to see Kadri Komarov with another scorer on the wing myself.

Besides, who cares? They wouldn't be the first sub 200lb forwards to excel in the NHL.

It's hard to include Marner, Nylander and Matthews in the top 6 without having two of them on the same line

That said, I don't look at Brown that way. he's well-seasoned in the A and I think he will be a good NHLer

youre delusional..

you made the argument that reinhart is bigger therefor he can handle the rigors of the NHL better, therefor hes the better player..

i wouldnt dare mention skill when comparing those two.. i dont think even you're dumb enough to go down that rabbit hole.

Well prepare to have your little leaf heart broken again.

They are completely unrealistic expectations. To have 6 guys eclipse the high scorer from the previous season on a team that is looking at a bottom 10 pick, when 3 of the 6 are 20 and younger..

You are going to be so disappointed.

I can't name a single club that has ever had 3 rookies score 20+ goals. I don't claim to be a trivia legend though. Anyone?

You expect 6 players to match or top last year's top point getter. 7 20 goal forwards. You might be a wee bit disappointed come April.

I think a lot of these are best case scenarios. I could see some of these results occurring, but all of them occurring would be pretty unlikely I would think.

My guess is Marner will not play more than 9 games.

Too many guys to try and squeeze on this roster IMO

The game these days you need core strength, speed and skill. There are a number of small players who are big time point producers, including your hart winner this season
