Maybe not $11M awesome, but agreed.

We all knew how that contract could play out. Now it’s a surprise to some. He’ll be a beast in the playoffs.

91 and 89 pts now for Leafs 2 best players. Nice to see. I said it last game even though they lost and didn't light it up. Give Bertuzzi, Domi and Matthews a little run.

34 scores regardless who he plays with - always has since rookie 40 goals.

Hyman, Brown, Johnsson, Kappenen, Willy, Marner it just doesn’t matter. I would argue for sure having with Marner or Willy might be the difference between 60+ as opposed to 50+ but the impact Marner and Willy would have on Tavares would create a better 2 line punch.

Matthews doesn’t need Marner but I think Marner would get Tavares back on track and JT really needs the impact of Marner on his wing.

JT 8 pts in his last 3 games reunited with Nylander

Ya unfortunately JT can’t drive a line anymore. Still an offensive threat all day.

It would be ideal if this line of 11-34-58 could keep on truckin’ - give the option to roll JT with Marner and Willy on second line.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Matthews just got 5 points without Marner.

Marner driving a 3rd line after Matthews and Nylander are driving the top 2 would be ideal. Besides, who wouldn't want Marner's elite defensive prowess playing 3rd line minutes while making the line a threat to score at any moment?

He could make up the balance of his usual minutes on special teams.

Why (frank) with a top line scoring that much?

1. You don’t throw your 3rd best player on L3.

2. It would waste his skill set:
- He’s not elite defensively 5v5 (elite PK)
- He’s a passer but a shooter
- There is nobody for him to play with in the 3rd line that could finish his set ups at a rate that would justify putting him that low in lineup
- No matter how good L3 is, it doesn’t get as much ice as the Top 2 lines. No way you play Marner 3rd line minutes

1. I wasn't asking you

2. The person I was asking doesn't feel he's their 3rd best player

3. Line numbers are theoretical , if he's as good as advertised at both ends of the rink he'll get as much ice time as he can handle

4. See 3, if he's that good he can turn anyone into a scorer.

5. If he's that good, why can't he carry his own line? Matthews and Nylander can

There are ways to make up for the ice time.

Big question is how elite defensively is Marner and is he good enough offensively to turn the Jarnkrok McCann types into 25/30 goal scorers
