For the first part of this year I'll admit that Marner has been bad defensively but lately he's definitely shored up and looks good.
JVR/Bozak bring the same defensive game they've brought for all their careers. And it ain't good.
Pretty obvious why this line stays together, JVR and Bozak both put up career high offensive numbers last year, a lot of it because of Marner's terrific puck distribution abilities.
I find Mess' position on Marner's ice-time to be rather dishonest. I think he'd look just fine on a non-sheltered line with better linemates and more ice-time.
Kapanen /Tavares /Marner or Hyman /Matthews /Nylander would not look much different in goals and points at the end of next season if we were lucky enough to land Tavares.
