Nylander played all season last year alongside Matthews to build on his portfolio prior to the end of his entry level. It was never at the level of Marner from the 2nd half of last season to current. I'm consistently baffled that you and a few others think they're comparable talents.
Cool how you had to specify that only Marner?s second half of the season should count. And also specified that Nylander spent the whole season with Matthews when he was injured for 20 games.
Didn't Marner play with Matt Martin for a stretch at the beginning of the season, and made him actually look like an NHL player? Since then, he's done nothing but make other players better. The powerplay runs through him. JVR put up goals basically by just putting his stick on the ice. He consistently takes over games, regardless of his linemates. While Matthews was out, Nylander looked lost.
