Good for him but personally I would've liked Nylander to have been selected this time, the point streak is hard to deny though.

It was the NHL Hockey Operations who selected Marner because they picked 1 player from all 32 teams.
Starting tonight at 9:00 PM EST fans can vote on NHL.com and on Twitter for the remaining players.

Well deserved, his 200:foot game has been great this year.

The glue that holds the team together
Hard to believe Leaf nation picks Nylander over Matthews

56 years and counting. #FireTheShanaClan!
My understanding is that they had to choose 1 player from each team. Thinking Pasta should be there before Willie but it is now up to the fans.
One player from each team is such a dumb rule
Technically we should have a bunch of players there, but with the silly 1-player-per-team way it works, it would be weird for our 3rd best player to be selected.
Well deserved for Marner.

I'd prefer if the Leafs sent no one and they could use the time to rest.

Willie is having a better year and Matthews is better off taking time off anyway

I think Nylander would be better classified as 'Most Improved' .
For all around play, I think most see Marner as the better player this season.

Based on his consecutive point scoring streak and current stats Marner has been the Leafs most consistent and best player.
Willy is having a career year for himself including goal wise, but because Marner also kills penalties and is more well rounded player, which is why its likely the league went with Mitch.
I expect fans will vote Matthews to the AS Game as the reigning Hart and Rocket holder, who is the Leafs BEST player but not having the best season.

"Too many folks on hockey Twitter think of the all star game as a serious contest "
Who in their right minds think it's a 'serious contest'?

"Low-stakes marketing opportunity." Pure and utter B.S.
Not having the best U.S. player in Matthews there is not wise marketing. Or the best U.S. goalie in Hellebuyck.
No Pastrnak, Draisaitl, Dahlin or Rantanen either.
But hey, everyone knows Brock Nelson and Kevin Hayes will boom those ratings.
The NHL has always been a joke and lagging behind in how to market the game and its stars.
