"From the looks of what they showed off, Carbery will have Marner and Nylander occupying new positions on the power play. It appears Marner will slide to the bumper position, from the half-wall spot he?s played for some time. Nylander looks destined to replace Marner on the half-wall."
... it's weird that people on these boards have been suggesting that ... why are the Leafs just trying this now?

The old formation would still work if they didn't devolve into table hockey. And a lot of that is because of Marner's decision making as QB and everyone just waiting to see if the puck goes to that one shooting option. Just having Nylander back up there, regardless of where, will help because he's a legit passing, shooting, netfront weapon (unpredictable) and makes everyone else more threatening by extension. As long as they keep the unit moving around the zone (everyone just needs like two routes) and open up lanes and looks, this PP will be deadly. Also, let Nylander handle the entry.

You can sort of see what they?re going to try to do at the NHL level: shooters on the strong sides, which means better puck control, more passing options, more movement, and more chaos at the goal mouth for follow up opportunities.

Michael Nylander had just finished his rookie season when that movie was released.

With the injuries to Woll and Scott, I wonder if they will give Petruzzelli the net for a couple of periods.
They have to find someone to work with Scott that can help that kid stay healthy.
