GDT: Training Camp discussion - Camp now open

He is a strong kid.

Noticed against the Habs, things would happen at the net and none of them could overpower him in the scrums after.

I think he might do well to model himself after a guy like Nichushkin, minus off-ice issues. Just an absolute horse near the net.

He is very strong on the puck. Relentless behind the opposition net.

Pretty similar stats in 2023-2023 accordinf to naturalstattrick

2022-2023
Nylander with Matthews 5v5
504 mins 4.52 g/60, 1.66 ga/60

Marner with Matthews 5v5
539 mins 3.67 g/60, 2.22 ga/60

At 5v5 in 2022-2023, Matthews-Nylander together had an xGA/60 of 2.93. Matthews-Marner together, against tougher matchups, had an xGA/60 of 2.36. No, that's not similar.

Split the three headed monster. They all want to get paid, run your own lines.

Knies - Matthews - Domi
McMann - Tavares - Marner
Pacioretty - Nylander - Grebenkin/Robertson
Holmberg - Kampf - Jarnkrok

I agree that those 3 should run their own lines, but it seems like Berube wants the 3rd line to be the identity line, and Matthews+Marner+Nylander aren't really the types of players you would put on that kind of line. Under Berube's intended setup those 3 have to be in the top 6.

Expected stats? Marner fans harrass me for using expected numbers and now you're using them?

Cant make this stuff up.

It's so hilariously narcissistic.

This might have been true in 2019, but we dont know if this is true anymore. Id argue that Matthews seems more and more interested in separating himself from Marner. If he thought he and Marner had incredible chemistey, he wouldnt have selected Nylander and Reilly before him at the All Star game, especially with 1 million reward on the line.

Matthews might be fine with playing with Marner, however, he produced 2x more points with Domi on his wing than Marner. 2x...is ALOT. We dont know if hes a "fan" of it. That is just you speculating...id argue the opposite.

Would think the new coach would discuss preferences with his new captain.

Guess we shall see
