A top line of Marner Zary and Yegor could be pretty good.

Not to be petty but I'm not sure what you mean by a good 200 foot game. He's a great offensive playmaker who can finish and he skates very shifty. Defence he's just okay. But all bets are off in the playoffs. In the Western Conference where it's a little more aggressive physically, I'm not sure he'd be as good as on the Leafs. Still a definite 1st line player - there are no questions there.
