Player Discussion William Nylander

[Antropovsky]

Last season... you need to look into the stats you are claiming as fact.

Uh, what am I claiming as a fact? Refer back to my post and explain how you interpreted it and came to the conclusion that your response is relevant.

Willy is putting on a clinic this year with 8 goals in his first 11 games under a new coach and attempting to validate his new +$11 mil contract.

He is currently on pace for 60 goals.

Here is currently tied for 5th in overall goal scoring just 1 goal behind Kucherov the top RW in the game.

He is asking Berube for more opportunity and more playing time in the process.

Following the game, Berube was asked about Nylander's performance and his desire to play more minutes.

"Well, Willy has played good hockey for us this year. I don't have a problem with his game. Ice time is ice time. I try to use my bench as best I can. I think everybody is important. I try to manage the bench that way. People have roles. I use them in those roles. Willy played a good game tonight. The line was really good for us again."

I'd hope and expect he'll end up with more than 89 points by season end.

Willy needs more minutes and Marner needs less, what could we do..

Priority for Willy is 5 on 5, Marner needs to pk and protect leads..

Tough one

Leading points producers marner and Nylander both on pace for 89 points.

Yeah, I don't see 60 goals for Nylander, nor 7 goals for marner.

If they ever figure out the powerplay ...

Marners team is complaining he’s playing too much is that what dreger said? I think Marner playing 4 minutes more than him is insane regardless of what lines you play on cause I know marners not averaging 4 minutes on the pk

The difference between marner and Nylander is like 49 sec at ES like late in the game where Marner will for sure play more than Nylander to protect a lead or whatever... The rest is basically on PK...

AINEC !!!

You know it.

 

[Sundinisagod]

took leafs nation way too long to realize he is better than marner

Some are still in denial.

Some are still in denial.

In 2015, I got into a huge argument with my friends over a couple of issues.

I was wrong on Stamkos, cause I thought we could sign a bigger name after building up a bit more next year. Tavares on paper was just as good or better.

One big argument I remember was the season before Marner put up 90 points was between the two. I told everyone zone entry, solid shooting and speed would scale better into their respective careers. My dad was big on European style of play and he was mostly correct in how the NHL has seen an explosion in speed.

It took until 2021 for Willy to solidly surpass Marner, it might have happened before, but Tavares declined like crazy. No joke people thought we were going to get a two top 5 Cs for a solid 5 years. Instead by like year two, Tavares was a 2nd line centre.

60 + 30 = 89?
