I am in agreement with @Naosu and @"jfisherr". That top unit of Nicolaj Muller @esilverm, Mika Kandinsky @Mika_Kandinsky, and Barrett Blackwood @MrStennett is a force to be reckoned with.

There are seven players with more than 40 points at the time of this writing. Three of them are the names I mentioned above. When it comes to pure production, the Muller-Kandinsky-Blackwood trio has the stats to back up being mentioned in this conversation.

However, I think it's more important to note how important this trio has been to their team. St. Louis currently sits fourth in the league with a record of 21-17-4. Interestingly, their goal differential is -8, which is actually worse than the two teams immediately below them: Montreal (-2) and Vancouver (-7). As a matter of fact, Muller, Kandinsky, and Blackwood are the only forwards on the Scarecrows with a positive +/-.

Let me put that on its own line: on a team with a goal differential of -8, and on a team where the next closest forward has a +/- of -4, Muller, Kandinsky, and Blackwood are a combined +58. The team has scored 58 more goals with them on the ice than it has given up.

They've also come through in clutch time disproportionately more than the rest of their team. They have 8 game-winning goals and 5 game-tying goals as a line. That means they're helping the Scarecrows win games by showing up in the game's biggest moments.

This line is disproportionately important to the Scarecrows' success, which is why they get my vote for the most key line in the league. There are a lot of great top lines in the SMJHL, but I don't think there's a team that would miss theirs more than St. Louis would miss these three.
