Just admit Willie had a better season than MM and move on.Nylander had a great season and had more points playing more games that’s true.

I mean when he was playing at a 120 point pace and dominating with whoever his linemates were. Seems pretty obvious that’s not the Nylander we’re getting going forward though but he is definitely capable of being better than Marner or atleast as good.
no doubt about it.And primary points. Nylander was arguably the best player in the team for a decent stretch of the season. I don't think we can say the same for Marner at any point last year.
Marner is a great player, but I think most folks wouldnt cite this season when talking about his highlights with the team.
So we are at peak Marner and 80% Nylander?
Yep - deflecting to me instead of discussing the issue.You'd have to be dumb to think they were being compared.
What was Gretzky's greatest strength?
I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.
Jason Robertson now that's a great winger.![]()
No, William Nylander is not better than Mitch Marner, under any circumstances
The Toronto Maple Leafs have two of the top ten wingers in hockey, according to the NHL Network. I think 100% of knowledgable people would agree with that. Iteditorinleaf.com
Discuss ....

So he is only usually voted on as a top 20 defensive forward? Not following your logic... does this make him bad defensively?
You seem to be agreeing with me.
There is more to hockey than physical ability.
I think people whisper “Selke” a lot around Marner and it’s overstated.
I'm curious how we can make Nylander's 3 even strength goals less than marner's 1 even strength goal for the 2023-2024 playoffs?
Where are those magical stats again?
I’ve never said he didn’t.Just admit Willie had a better season than MM and move on.
The same way people have convinced others that Nylander > Marner, just keep saying it enough until people start believing it.
That's fine, I don't think your opinion holds much weight when it comes to voting for the best defensive forward.

But we want to hear you say he did. LolI’ve never said he didn’t.
My opinion is reflected in his low ranking in the Selke race in a typical year.
The thread is about an article that oversimplifies the notion that Marner is better under any circumstances, despite circumstances where Nylander is better.

Just pushing this out for consideration.
Matthews the goal scorer can't be a Selke candidate.
Therefore the results must be due to marner, therefore the votes.
On second thoughts maybe it was Matthews, thus votes going to Matthews and not marner.
Selke is kind of one of those flakey awards anyway, opinion based.
Makes sense, the goalie isn't considered a skater.
So do they consider an empty net goal shorthanded since they are playing 5v6?
Where did the rest of the even strength goals go?
