Agreed. Glad Willy has been scoring because the Leafs haven't had a lot of other guys going. Especially until the 3rd line finally started chipping in.
But I don't see anything different about Nylander this year except he's possibly cheating more than ever on breakouts and he's being played a lot on the PP. That might be enough to keep up those percentages but the question is whether or not it is helping the team. Some nights yes, some nights no.
That stretch was the only time he has ever been consistently engaged. I think its becoming obvious now that was the exception not a new rule. He got paid and its back to normal easy come easy go Willy for 8 years.
