Kadri will never score again having to play all the defense on that line.
- Garnie


I could definitely see the point of defensive matchups and having one very good defensive line.


Brown Matthews Marner
Leivo/Soshnikov Kadri Hyman
JVR Bozak Nylander
Leo Boyle Martin/Soshnikov

I'd put Leo with Bozak and JVR - sink or swim for those 2 playing with the best defensive forward.


Leivo / Matthews / Nylander
Brown / Kadri / Marner
Leo / Bozak / JVR
Sosh / Boyle / Hyman

Insert Martin against teams that are bigger or play heavier or however you want to word it.

I like those lines a lot more then our current lines for sure, but id love to replace Nylander with Marner. I find Nylander to need to have the puck more then Marner. Also, Nylander is a shooter, so keeping away from Matthews might provide more scoring punch.

When it all comes down to it, id just be happy to see Hyman off of Matthews line for a few games.

Honestly sometimes I look at our D and wonder if we should go with 4 forwards and 1 D, thats how bad some of them are.

He's pretty good - he just lacks in three areas:

The offensive zone.

The defensive zone.

The neutral zone.

So what are we thinking?

5 of 6 points to keep the dream alive. All winnable games.

Then Florida and Tampa after that. Next 5 games will be YUGE
