There’s an ongoing debate in the NHL currently of which 1st line is the “best” in the NHL. Traditionally, Boston’s Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and David Pastrnak trio wins that debate. However with a scorching hot start to the year a new contender has emerged. Gabriel Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mikko Rantanen were recently entered into the debate by Scott Billek of Pro Hockey Talk.
Even on the Hockey PDOcast by Dimitri Filipovic, they had the discussion recently where those two trio’s were mentioned with Dallas’ Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Alexander Radulov mentioned as a possible contender for the fictional title.
