Well, top 6 scorers in order:
Matthews
Kadri
van Riemsdyk
Nylander
Rielly
Marner
And it's not just scoring. It's stepping up when the team is looking lack-lustre; making an impact

I have a hard time believing that Nylander has any issue with confidence in himself
unless maybe they didn't work hard enuff in the summer ,marner looks slower ,like he hesitates on his first stepBut that is kind of tough to orchestrate.
JVR has 15 goals which is on pace for 37 goals on the season (with a career best 29). Since you can't control when a player scores and he is projecting for a career best its hard to pin Leafs losses on a player like him for example. Kadri on pace for 31 and Marleau 27 also projecting to last year..
On the other hand Marner has 2 goals on pace for 5 goals after scoring 19 times in his rookie year in 77 games. Nylander on pace for 12 goals this year after 22 last year. They're on pace for 17 goals combined when ~25 goals each might have been hoped for as improvements of rookie seasons.
Seems sophomore goal scoring slumps is the root of Leafs goal scoring problems.
the difference between us and most teams is our offensive talent (forwards + defense) is arguably the best in the league. When you can be the best in the league at something, you're a dangerous team
I agree we look toothless, but I think it's more because of coaching rather than anything else. Talent like what Nylander and Marner have offensively isn't something that disappears on its ownWe haven't looked dangerous for some time now, the word toothless comes to mind. It comes down to wins and losses and at the moment, I believe we're 10th overall by PPG% and trending downward.
Well the sophomores haven't been playing good all season yet the leafs have still been scoring. This month the offence is dried up and that still includes the sophomores struggling so it's not their fault the offence has been weak this month.

I mean if you watched the games you probably would have noticed.
I'm pretty sure he's been more effective and noticeable then a few other wingers that play over 16-18 minutes every night.
Exactly my point, you constantly dink 4th line players because of production yet now admits like manna from heaven 8-10 mins a game ....makes point production a tough go!
And you may have played hockey with mini sticks and all.....My references to playing are of a being "Paid to play" variety.
You have never been paid to play...your posts would suggest such if you did...sorry i do not see a Paid player in your postings.

Yeah, no, I got it, I watch every game too, and he is just there. I mean, he is not awful, but he isn't better than anyone really. I mean, I guess he is fine for 3rd and 4th line duties, but people here talk him up like he is the next Jesus, and I think he is the next Jesús
Nobody said he's the next jesus other than people that can't seem to grasp that an effective player should be playing over those that are not. It's really that simple.
Stop with the nonsense that people say he's great or something. Nobody said that.
