Just like the “core 4” in the playoffs, maybe he thinks they’re there already ^^
Trade his a** somewhere else! I’ve been saying it for years (I know he’s got a NMC)

Its is the time of the year to not play with Tavares anymore. Bump up or down, but with the same icetime.
What have they done to get Nylander going? Nothing and then nothing with some nothing on the side.
I would bring up Alex, put them with Marner as altering C with Nylander. Domi with Matthews and knies.
The suckometer will not move if it does not work, so still worth the gamble. But as always, minimum 10 games or it never happened.

He’s paid 11,5(?) million dollar per year. He should be able to figure things out anyway. Just look at Marner and Matthews, they keep scoring great goals and assists, while also being defensive stalwarts

Matthews has played 40 games without Marner, Marner has played 69 games without Matthews. They have played 551 games together. Nylander has not played with such good players or got payed the same % of the cap in nearly the same lenght of time. He get the leftovers most of the time.
The season aint over he has time to figure things out. But when Tavares and Nylander dont gel. It is a coach decision that is needed. Split them up.

Totally, one would wish that he becomes better, but I won’t have my hopes up. Atleast we have Marner
Right??? Who cares when the regular season is 82 games, vs maximum 7 in playoffsBecause of his dominate post seasons!!!!

He's got lots of time to figure it out. Imagine perferring this guy over the one who shows up most nights but can't speak to the media to save his life?

when has marner ever showed up? Like seriously when if your free we can discuss it cause he shrinks in big moments this is the guy who told reporters he wasnt ready at pucc drop of a playoff gameI mean, you could always prefer neither... (For the record they are both phenomenal players, just too expensive).He's got lots of time to figure it out.

Useless passenger right now. Not engaged, floating. Unacceptable hockey.

This guy is a pathetic hockey player. We know how good he is when he is on, but he is off way too much. A passenger for 11.7M.

Instead of playing him with third liners. Just put him on the first line for a while. LW . Maby the ppl will be better too. A lot of practice time with Marner and Matthews. If the sieamese twins have to stay together.Try all the eggs in one basket. Again, more then one game.

people point different pivotal moments that doomed the Leafs rebuild, the Marner or JT contract or the Muzzin injury or the Mrazek deal or the Foligno trade but for my money trading out of a chance to take Konecny was the biggest blunder

TK is a winger so perhaps Laughton or Frost but neither packs any offense. I would have question the value of making a deal to push Tavares down to the 3rd line this season. His pp60 is second on the team right now. Putting another C above him will reduce his minutes and there are 10 other forwards who are doing less with their ice time.
Also the idea that Willie needs a new center to help him produce seems like an excuse for an off year. He had 87 points two years ago playing a minute less a night and was a beast at even strength with Tavares as his center.
Paycheck aside, the last two seasons weren't mirages. Unless he is playing through something he will get back to his real game. He is getting similar usage to last year and the same OZ starts.
However some notable stats. GvA way up and TkA way down from last year and you have to go back to 20-21 for a year that bad. The other thing is his hits are way down. It isn't a big part of his game but the drop is so obvious its relevant. If not for Berube's comments about Willie's confidence right now I would have said he might be hurt. I agree with moving him to Matthews to get a spark. It costs nothing because they aren't winning right now and Willies numbers beside Matthews have always been pretty good.

Tavares is having a great year compared to his previous years but I fear his game dips in the playoffs and we will eventually need a strong #2C going forward. Bennett would fit the bill for the coach. Not so much for Leafs management.
