Matthews and Nylander have scored over 1/3 of all Leafs goals over the last 5 seasons, and 1/3 of the goals in the playoffs. They also have almost 1/3 of the regular season gwgs and almost half of the playoff gwgs.
Over the last four seasons, Willy has only 18 fewer goals (and more points) than Matty, and only 11 fewer points than Mitch.
If nobody gets paid for passing, why are we paying Marner so much?
Really impressive for Nylander, eslecially considering he isnt attached to Matthews.Matthews and Nylander have scored over 1/3 of all Leafs goals over the last 5 seasons, and 1/3 of the goals in the playoffs. They also have almost 1/3 of the regular season gwgs and almost half of the playoff gwgs.

WOW everyone likes to look at the total amount of years but like my other friend mentioned over the last five years they’ve kinda been trending the opposite direction 11 more points huh with quality of linemates and time on iceMatthews and Nylander have scored over 1/3 of all Leafs goals over the last 5 seasons, and 1/3 of the goals in the playoffs.

That's why they didn't trade Nylander. He scores goals. Securing the goal scorer is more important than the playmaker. Still too soft and being far too lazy sometimes but I guess you could look at it like he is resting himself for the playoffs and using energy only for the best opportunities

Or Marner.
I think the posters who are talking about how great Marner is and how dependent Matthews is on his set-ups don't realize that they are actually supporting the idea that Nylander may be the best player. Virtually identical production without having each other for support.

So funny the spin people put on. Matthews was really good, Marner was pretty much meh.I heard marner and matthews had an amazing game today
Congrats to Willy on 600 points.
With 7 years left, he might be at 1100 points by the time his contract expires.
I really hope these guys can at least make a finals so everyone can appreciate how good they are.

When all is said and done Nylander, Matthews and Marner will be the top 3 scorers in Leaf history.

14 points last 10 games.
Be nice if he heats up going into the playoffs.

Yep, could have used him last year ... like Bozak missing in Boston ... maybe they win that series.
Chief might be getting to Willy in a good way Hes playing a little more physical for the last little while more than just a couple games if he puts a full effort 200 ft game together we’re going places

Against Nashville I didn’t even notice him. I hope he’s just bored at this point and is waiting for the playoffs. He’s historically been a playoff guy.
He really has the talent to be one of the best players in the league.

He definitely didn’t have a good game imo was he a dash 1? Needs to be much better cant take any games off gearing up for the playoffs either but your right he has the smarts and physical gifts to be a top 10 player in this league there’s nothing he isn’t capable of doing efforts his issue

The -1 was the empty net goal. Not a particularly good or bad game - a couple of shots, a couple of blocks - pretty meh, but certainly not the worst player on the night.
Need more from him for sure but definitely was far from one of the worst on the night for his defensive short Cummings the dash did come on an empty netter with rielly why is he on the ice with the net empty mccabe or oel should be out on 6 on 5s rielly should get no pp time
Can see the meltdown on this board if Willie wins the Rocket and MM asks for 13-14mil. Lol

Yeah but he only scored against weaker competition, and he’s lazy

Imagine Leafs paying Marner $13 to $14 million per for 8 years, someone who's never hit 100 pts and a playoff flop for the near decade he's been a Leaf...no wonder we're Cup favourites year in and year out...

9 back from Leon. Pull out a hatty and a couple 2 goal efforts and he is back in.
