Many more had worst gamesHe mailed it in last night, it's okay to admit it. Zero jam or intensity, embarrassing effort. Was amazing the night prior.

Nylander hasnt been our best player on most nights, no idea where you are getting that fromIf you watch the games you might notice that the problem is not his passing but the receiving and burying the chances by the recipients.
Sure, let's whine about the guy who's been (with the possible exception of Stolarz) our best player most nights.
Ofcourse 88, 16, amd 34 arent bad players?He has been fine man, you just cant seem to see the difference between being a bad player versus being an overpaid player.
Also, you conveniently ignored my other response that mentioned other elite talent with the same price tag or higher being at a similar pace this early in the season, proving how pointless it is to measure a players worth based on 7 regular season games.
If I were to agree with you that Marner has been our weakest link so far this season because of his minus 2, would you agree he’s been our strongest playoff performer the last 3 years based on his plus 11 over those games?The line of McMann -- Domi -- Nylander has been by far the Leafs best trio. Willy doesn't need an + $11 mil #1C to drive offense for the Leafs on his own line.
The trio have combined for 8 goals 9 assists 17 points and a +15 +/-

The weakest link defensively in Leafs top 12 scorers is Marner who is the only negative +/- player at -2 being on the ice for more goals against that goals for at 5v5 even strength.
I might give you OEL, but Willy's been the best forward most nights.Nylander hasnt been our best player on most nights, no idea where you are getting that from
Best players
Stolarz
Tanev
OEL
Everyone else is after those three.
Matthews has been the best player soem games but has a pitiful 5 pts in 7 games.
Nylander has been best in some games and has 7 in 7 same as marner
All three are way too low which has driven us to a 4-3 record when we should be 6-1 or 7-0.
We are 1 game away from ~10% of the season (8/82).
Last year he came out blazing and was basically producing at will. He needs to be doing more of that to avoid becoming the next John tavares.
He has all the time to bounce back, but don't pretend his play & production is tolerable for a 11.5M player
Hopefully that pace (ofcourse goals not being 82 lol) is what he plays at this yearI might give you OEL, but Willy's been the best forward most nights.
I'm not sure he needs to 'bounce back' from 7 games.
If you want to look at small sample sizes (and likely more relevant): since they removed his anchor, he has 5 goals and 7 points in 5 games - an 82 goal and 115 point pace.
I would say who cares how many points the get if they can actually win the Cup. Then it doesn't matter how much any of them are paid.Hopefully that pace (ofcourse goals not being 82 lol) is what he plays at this year
115 pace from here on out with 45-50G will be worth every penny of his deal
Every game matters for this team. Need to win the division and get a wild card matchup
Extremely unconfident we beat BOS or FLR in a 7 game series. Win the divisiom amd get Tampa or WSH type team
For that 88/34/16 need to be clicking at that 115 pt pace you mentioned for basically all of the year

Nylander - last 3 seasons -1, career +1
Tavares - last 3 seasons -1, career as a leaf -9
Mathews- last 3 seasons +5, career +2
Marner- last 3 years +11, career +10
