So are you suggesting that Berube is intentionally trying to piss off his new captain ?Just last season, Matthews hinted that he was fine with being separated from Marner, saying, "Sometimes a little change is good for everyone."
Also, in the All-Star draft, he picked Nylander and Reilly before Marner.
On top of that, Matthews produced twice as much at 5v5 with Domi compared to Marner.
It seems highly doubtful Matthews would request to play with him, especially with all the talk about Marner bwing the one particularly struggling last year when they were together.
