I would agree if the leafs actually had a guy. Everyone thinks Hyman is that guy, but with 16 assists in 64gp, on a line with Mathews, I would argue Hyman isn't retrieving squat. He mucks it out in the corners but it doesn't result in scoring chances.

oh i agree hyman can be improved on... but to me, it would have to be a player who plays the same kind of game

look at pittsburgh tho... sheary plays with sidney (frank)ing crosby and only has 19 assists

They both get put on that side because Matt Martin is on the left.

That's what Babcock knows more than us about this - the fact that Martin (or Hyman) will not be removed from the lineup under any circumstance

Pittsburg has cap issues because they won a cup. I hope we have that problem one day.

Anyway, I'm not saying Marner/Mathews/Nylander is a perfect long term solution, but after the poop kicking the leafs just took in death valley, it's time to try something new.

I think switching Nylander and Marner would be better if they were to try something new.

Time to play Gardiner next to Matthews on the top line, Matthews could use a smart player like Gardiner

Every time Marner plays with Matthews those two seem to just get a bundle of energy. You can tell they want to play together.

Nylander is very good at taking the puck and bringing it into the zone. JVR/Bozak could benifit from that.

They need the Vets to play to the level of the rookies. Kadri has tailed off too.

Yeah switching up Willy and Mitch would be a good start, I'd also like to see JVR and Bozak split up.

Gardiner always plays next to Mathews. The only time he's in actually position is on a faceoff. Even then its hit and miss.
