the thing is that last year it would have been fine since Nylander was still getting acclimated to the league and it was more of a developmental season as Babcock stated numerous times. This year however he said he tries to win every night. yeah I'm sure he still wants to instill work ethic into our young players and continue to develop them, but you can't say you try to win every night and staple one of our top offensive talents to the 4th line for multiple games at a time
I dont disagree with you. I like his accountability approach but its not consistent for every player(cough cough Polak cough). However it could be Nylander is held to a higher standard and Babcock feels he could be an absolute superstar which is why Babcock focuses on him more, and trying to make him as good as he feels be.
PS: im one of those people who feel Nylander has higher upside then Marner and thats even ignoring Nylander's chance to play C. Its not too discredit Marner at all.
