Maybe they want to see how they are away from good players. Put Nylander with scrubs on the 4th line. Put Matthews with non-1st line players. Put Marner with two lazy vets.

Most Leaf fans are not happy with Babcock's lineup choices.
At first I thought it was some tough love, pushing the kids to be better 2 way players. But it's been several games now. Every time I catch a leaf game (plenty since I live out here) nylander is always making incredible plays.

Marner has struggled a bit, even going back to the latter stages of last year. You'd think trying him with top 6 players may be the trick to get him back to the high level of play he showed at the beginning of last year
