Why waste time teaching Mitch Marner how to play defence on the fourth line when he should be a star on the first line RIGHT NOW? QUESTION: Fans get frustrated when talent is misused --- and Mitch Marner is currently being misused, absurdly misused. Kapanen – Matthews – NylanderVan Riemsdyk – Bozak – BrownHyman – Moore – KomarovTwo lines with supreme talent, get rid of Hyman on that line and try Kapanen, Brown helps on defence with Bozak and can score, and the fourth line is a true fourth line. And I'm not sure how Marner, playing 14:58 a game -- seventh most among forwards on the team -- is being misused. For the record, since his "demotion" to the fourth line, he's played 36 fewer seconds than JVR.
