ppg typically dips in the playoffs but not typically as much as some of those.I dunno, but when you look at the "Core Four" and their 82-game average based on their playoff numbers... man, those regular season numbers take a HUGE nosedive:
Marner- 14g 70p per 82 game avg 1216 TOI in 57 games
Matthews- 34g 72p per 82 game avg 1155 TOI in 55 games
Nylander- 30g 65p per 82 game avg 958 TOI in 54 games
Tavares- 26g 52p per 82 game avg 723 TOI in 38 games
Now obviously the style of play in the playoffs, particularly conerning the calibre of opponents the Leafs have played, are both factors in limiting some of the offense, but that top line is seeing some serious drop offs, despite playing so many minutes and with only each other. Nylander has seen a fair bit less ice time, and that also includes being saddled with Connor Brown, Marleau, Galchenyuk, Foligno and Kerfoot for large portions of that time, so his numbers imo are fairly impressive. If Marner and Matthews are, again, stuck to the hip this playoff run, they have to find another gear. They certainly are paid to play that way, anyway.
Leafs are definitely on the low side but I still think the Leafs have struggled to allocate the limited budget well enough to target players with a role. The Leafs bottom 6 is always just a collection of guys. They never go all in on roles. It's just get some random guys and stick them together.
Grebenkin has 2g and 4 points in 5 games for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms since his trade to Philly.We need a new Gary Roberts.
