When Jarnkrok comes back: Knies/Matthews/Jarnkrok, Pacioretty/Tavares/Nylander, McMann/Domi/Marner. Give each of those almost 20 minutes and barely play the 4th line.
Matthews, Willy and Marner should be on their own line, creating a real depth. They should be elevating the lesser-paid players if you're going to demand top dollar.
I'm down to experiment with most stuff but I hate hate HATE marner with domi. both players have a pass first mentality. Why put the two best facilitators on the team with each other? That's just asking for a line where nobody shoots the damn puck
Why would Knies sign a deal in season? His agent is telling him wait, you'll get more. I'm sure Treliving is trying to get a deal done sooner than later but if I'm Knies I'd bet on myself and wait..
None of those guys are 3rd line guys. Nevermind splitting up on lines, they need to deal Marner for proper depth. Lineup is redundant and needs true 3rd liners.
exactly HOW do you deal him? He has a no move. Even if he does agree to a move, who'se taking on that salary and giving up the prospects and draft picks for a half season merc? You're dreaming.
@ryanlarsen5965 He can approve the deal. It's his call. If it makes sense for him and the team, he'll head elsewhere. If they continue to hang on to these players and hope that they eventually figure it out, then it'll be more failure until their window to compete is fully closed. It's been long enough. It doesn't work.
@ryanlarsen5965 You just explained Carolina and Guentzel, as well as the Lightning giving up 5 draft picks and a prospect for Tanner Jeanott. That's reality. There are buyers, especially for a guy like Marner.
@johnsummerhill8323 Exactly what has their best player accomplished in the playoffs? Has he led them to a final or conference final? 1 round win in 8 seasons. Hardly anything to be proud of. Regular season success is great, but meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
@@ryanlarsen5965Well…. Again, it was long time ago, but he was playing with Nylander when he scored his first four goals….. now, was that on the power play?? I don’t know 🤷♂️
Mathews Marner Knies has got to be line number 1. Hyman fully blossomed once he was combined with McDavid which is a great comparable for Mathews and Knies. With Marner added in, they could score a lot of goals.
Knies-Matthews-Domi Pacioretty-Tavares-Nylander McMann-Kampf-Marner Lorentz-Dewar-Jarnkrok Just TRY this for at least 5 games once everyone is healthy. Roll the 4 lines and the big guns get the bulk of the extra ice-time on special teams.
putting marner on the 3rd line is insane. Hes the most defensibly responsible forward on the team. They need a new second line centre and robertson and mcmann are the assets you'd package to get one. You need Knies Matthews and Nylander as your top line. Nylander and Matthews have the most offensive chemistry and Knies clearing the net with them would be a beast mode line. Why cant Marner be your second line centre between Patches and Domi? To me, if youre going to juggle, those 2 lines make the most sense. Tavares needs to try and drive something on the 3rd line with Robertson and McMann to try and get those 2 guys going.
Knies is a beast. Plays the game the right way.

Glad you aren't the coach. Recipe for lots of losses with those lines.
@@johnsummerhill8323I actually think these lines are amazing just switch Nylander & Marner
As I said, I am glad you aren't the coach.

This has always been the correct answer
This team is so good. Season has barely started.
I'm down to experiment with most stuff but I hate hate HATE marner with domi. both players have a pass first mentality. Why put the two best facilitators on the team with each other? That's just asking for a line where nobody shoots the damn puck
Marner plays with Matthews.
Agreed. Theyre both playmakers
If marner wants more then 11 million he better showup in the playoffs if they get there

Sign knies fast!!
Yeah sign him at his highest value like nylander!
@rickyrichards1294 if he stays on this scoring space and scored 40 goals, then he will be at his highest value
@ an I promise you he won’t score 40
Nice Bitcoin reference!! : )

Deal their best all round player?

2 good games so far
knies mathews jarnkrok
mcmann domi marner
pacioretty tavares nylander
lorentz holmberg reaves
We need a 3 c
Simple as that.
We will see after the deadline
I think team missing their no. 1 player play more desperate. At least initially. And usually the more desperate team wins battles and games.
I haven't seen Mathews DRIVE a line yet... I haven't seen him lead a line and make the others around him better
he also hasnt played with Nylander yet at even strength. between the 2 of them last year, that was 200 points
Hyman…. Yeah yeah, I know that was years ago…. But Hyman did get better

Bad lines. Best you keep your day job.
