Salary-wise, how superior is he?

Marner's a 9-9.5 million dollar per year guy given the comparisons
Nylander is 7.5-8.0 million dollar per year player given his comparisons

So about 1.5m

If I was Marner I would be so ashamed of myself making more then Nylander, that I would etransfer Nylander $2 million per season, this way we would make the same amount. I'll have to ask Nylander for his email address.

That greedy kid wouldn't give his favorite hometown team a discount, highly doubt he's giving money away to a teammate for being better and playing with way more effort

Now when I think about it - Marner is the perfect example for everything wrong with the Leafs. Greediness, lack of character, heart and passion, over the top flashiness, no maturity, unwillingness to go to the corners and take a hit and much more.

Nylander is clearly better, he can put a line on his back and be a threat and produce. Marner is spoon fed, getting pp time and the best available c and a ridiculous contract.

I guess Marner have a high market value on the leafs cause of home grown talent and a big group of Fans, but that doesn't translate to effectivity on the ice.

Yes, Marner is vastly overrated because he's a local boy and the other guy is Swedish. He has a middling shot, not what you would expect at a professional level.

But it's okay since he's a local boy.
 
I've always though Nylander had more potential than Marner.
That said some of the comments about Mitch are way too harsh.

I think Marners main problem is between his ears. I don't think he had an easy time growing up. His dad seems like a real piece of work.
I think Mitch from an early age had too much pressure put on him.

He's needs to resolve that and play the game for himself, not others.

I feel like if you combined Nylander and Marner as players you'd have a complete, elite winger and production monster like Kucherov. But the way the cookie crumbles, Marner has always found a way to be more productive, but might be more capped out at his current level due to athletic limitations yet Nylander possesses more of the natural athleticism where he can still evolve and add more components to his game.

If Marner ever found a way to get stronger, more explosive we'd be in business. But I don't you can expect a big transformation in the way he plays.

I have to disagree bc if you look at how Marner played in his first three seasons and how he is playing now. I think you will wonder where did the old Marner went. I know people will always remember AM- 4 goals debut but it was Marner’s play in that game that caught my eyes more. He was buzzing and wanted the puck. Now, he is more let’s see who is available, I will pass to him and hope he scores.
I really don’t know what happened to Marner and as much as I hate to bring up his contract, the way he played changed after he signed the contract. And I think even his most diehard fans would acknowledge that.

I remember at some point Nylander was even a potential prospect to go no.1 overall in his draft year. His ceiling is massive and he has performance traits you can only get through genetics, like his initial explosiveness and all those fancy lung stats from the combine. There's nothing you can do if you're not born with that. The increase is marginal compared to those who were blessed genetically.

I see him having the same value as Panarin soon.

Nylander is a better sniper. But Marner will always get a lot more points being a superelite assist dude. But if Nylander produce goals in the playoffs and Marner dont in the future. Then Nylander is worth as much as Marner.
 
Objectively, probably about $1.5-$2m understanding that Marner's deal goes 1 year beyond Nylander's. With Nylander at $7m, the number for Marner should have been $9m. At $9m, he probably doesn't become the headcase he seems to have become.

That being said, you look at this leaf team, and have to wonder just how good they might be had they played hardball with him, or better yet, let him sign an offer sheet and recoup the 2 x 1sts, 2nd, and 3rd; and then have $11m to go shopping.

Sure, Tavares' contract at $11m is far from ideal, but he's still a #1 centre on a good chunk of teams in the league, and gives us one of the league's best 1-2 punches in the middle of the ice. There's nothing "wrong" with Matthews $11.6m other than it missing a year or two on the end of it. Nylander has elevated his game beyond the $7m he earns, and there really isn't a bad contract on this team beyond that.

/outstanding Right Wingers?

Only one is showing that currently. Or is this a Liljegren type "I see things the way I want to see things" assessment again?
