The Toronto Maple Leafs have arguably the best first-line in the NHL.
There is no doubt that Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner have excellent chemistry, and that the Toronto Maple Leafs benefit immensely from it.
However, as good as they are, each player is an MVP candidate in their own right. Each player could drive a line and make the Leafs even harder to play against.
Auston Matthews was paired with Nylander when he broke into the league, while Mitch Marner was on Tavares’ wing for the captain’s best NHL season. Reverting back to those lines wouldn’t hurt the team, and it may help them by making Mitch Marner shoot more.
