JVR had a better start to the season than he has been doing for the last 15 or so games.

Yes, he's flying like he did last season. That triple spinorama play leading to the Bozak goal vs. Carolina was nuts. He's found his game.
He's just gotta wheel it out there and let his creativity flow. So much fun to watch he is.

Get out of here with your logic..
Seriously though, JVR, Bozak and Marner have been far and away the best line for a few games now.
In general, I think Marner needs someone next to him who is good at finding soft spots and playing close to the net. For the Leafs, he needs to play with one of JVR or Matthews. Kadri could work, but I don't think he's as good as the other 2.
The frustrating player is Bozak. I don't really see how he compliments the line. He's there, and last year did an adequate job. But, he's not great at winning pucks (which is an issue for Marner and JVR) and doesn't have a great shot from distance. He makes sense when you look at how the rest of the lines are constructed. I just wonder how they would do with either Matthews or Kadri with them. I don't think Nylander compliments that line either as both Marner and Willy like to do similar things with the puck, or atleast like to be puck dominant. Matthews can switch that on and off a bit better and can play the quick give and go's better.
JVR is a goal scorer......real talent around the net......but he doesn'r get the puck himself...
Bozak has been reliable lately but really doesn't have much impact on his own...average at everything..
It all depends on what marner does.....the line is good when Marner is good.
If Marner isn't playing well the line does nothing much at all...

Yep, and it was a bit unfair to expect him to "drive the line" from the wing...luckily he is good enough to do it. JVR is a finisher, Bozak an uneven performer...
I know that but he would do even better playing with Matthews - you can't argue that
There is not a player in the league who wouldn't do better playing with Matthews, so that's not a strong argument. 40 goals as a teenage rookie is only scratching the surface of what he can do. There isn't a single aspect of this game he isn't well above average at.
Even Matthews would do better with Marner instead of playing with Brown and Hyman
Marner's chemistry with JVR is underrated. I know they have their moments defensively but Marner leads the team in assists and JVR has 16 goals playing alongside him, and also had a career year playing with him last year.

It would be more helpful when you add the # of games played with all these players. Marner has played most games with JVR and Bozak and his assists total is pretty reflective of that
