I don't disagree with this, but Mirtle has got him lining up with Robertson and Domi there behind Matthews and Tavares...I think Nylander has a cow if that's where he's slotted.
My guess is Nylander starts with with Domi and Jarnkrok, not Robertson. And really I think you could make the case that that's a better duo than Tavares' wingers (Knies-Lafferty). If Nylander can handle the C position I think it's entirely possible that his line outperforms the Tavares line. Which one beat reporters decide to type up first in their tweets doesn't really matter.
Yeah that Knies - Tavares - Lafferty line is more of a third line. Personally, I would put Marner and Nylander together because I think that would help Nylander be more successful, but I get that has drawbacks as well.
Just came on here to type that. The Leafs ever tried Nylander with Marner on his wing.
Maybe a line of Domi - Nylander - Marner?
Maybe Tavares - K?mpf - Lafferty 3rd line?
Leaving Knies - Matthews - Bertuzzi with top line duties.
Thoughts?
