hobie Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The 4th line has been traditionally an energy line comprised of marginal offensive talents who eat time while the better players rest. For some teams this is a necessary arrangement but it is wise for teams that might have the depth to have 4 dangerous lines. I'm expecting TO's 4th line might be Martin/Moore/Sosh which could be a decent to fill a 4th line role but is it the best line TO could ice. Is it imperative that PKers should come from this line even tho these 3 players seriously have little value beyond wasting time, facing other team's 4th lines. I would think TO's better players would be superior PKers. From what I've seen Aaltonen, Grundstrom, Johnsson, Kapanen and Leivo might be a more effective group of players than the 4th line TO will settle on. I get excited about the concept of watching Grundstrom/Aaltonen/Kapanen and I think this line is or will very soon become top 3 worthy. Forget who makes what, TO should ice the best lineup possible.

Leafs74 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think Uncle leo could be a decent 4th liner, let brown play with Kadri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobie Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Maybe Hyman as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobie Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Who knew that Brown would displace Marner? Marner hasn't been impressive this year which is disappointing, sophomore jinx maybe? I'm happy that Marner is no longer playing with Bozak and JVR as I don't think they make an ideal line, together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenses are game planning for him now. Like almost every other player, it's up to him to step up and respond with the kind of skill he possesses.
