Hey Burkie, that's not what they were saying about Nylander in the Athletic today, that he looked great at Centre last night. Hope Kadri is OK but seeing Willie there for a few games won't hurtherman said:https://twitter.com/LeafsNews/status/1098239363488669696
Nylander likes blue collars just fine:

Good thing we have multiple top-line wingers.

Marner is not yet quite as good as his first three months suggest and is better than these last two months have been. He has had up and down stretches every year of his very young career thus far, but we know he is money in the bank (and on the cap).
Once the pucks start really going in, Nylander will be more widely recognized as the bargain contract.

Step back from the ledge.cap44 said:they need to unload this albatross of a contract ASAP!! This has gotta go down as one of the worst deals ever. $6.9 for a 20 goal scorer, what are they thinking. He has almost identical numbers as Tyler Ennis who comes in at $650,000.

LOL, I myself think Nylander is over paid. But he is a good top six player. Ennis is not a top six player on any team.Gender Bender said:Step back from the ledge.cap44 said:they need to unload this albatross of a contract ASAP!!

I don't think it's unfair to be critical of his game this season so far, and it's funny to me to see the length to which people stat-mine to try to prove otherwise. I was ridiculed with my opinion that his stats were substantially overstated last year as a result of playing with Matthews, and he's done nothing this year but prove my point.
my point exactly. Ennis is not a top six and I am struggling to Nylander as one as well. Certainly his performance indicates to me that he is not!
That said, Dubas went into this signing playing the long game, and like him, I'd be far more willing to bet he'll be worth his contract over the duration rather than falling short.

I'm one of the biggest Nylander fans on this board, but I don't think it'll ever look like a steal. I think it'll look completely appropriate, and that's ok.
There's a difference between thinking he wasn't ready out of the gate and has room to improve and thinking we need to get out of an albatross of a contract asap.Frycer14 said:Gender Bender said:Step back from the ledge.

Could be a steal alright...for my Nylander maybe.
