I don't think he deserves that kind of money. Right now he's a clear step below Ehlers.
How do you figure? Is it Ehler's one extra playoff point this year?

He and Matthews look very off this series.
Which is made more strange by the fact that they didn’t look like this against the Capitals.

Willie is softer than butter that's been sitting out...I'm beginning to wonder whether Matthews would be better off with a 6'4 winger that's good in the corners, kinda like Sundin used to succeed with.
That's not true. They've been about as important to their teams success to each other and have scored eerily similarly in the show. Do people forget the second half last year where Nylander went god mode and basically carried us to a playoff spot? He was also fantastic against Washington. He's too young and has way too much potential to give up on over one rough playoff series.Ehlers has been an impact player, Nylander has not.
You're passing off your opinion off as fact. The way I (and many others saw it) he was our second best forward after Matthews.Nylander was a passenger in the Washington series as well.. and it was incredibly obvious to anyone who watched the games. But, but... stats right? You don’t watch film. We get it.

It's all good, Willie can go win another Gold for Sweden once the Leafs are eliminated.
I have no idea why you would expect a good effort from Nylander. It’s playoffs and it’s a mans game. In order to be successful you need to go to the tough areas, and pay the price. He lives on the perimeter, and plays scared.
When the going gets tough, guys like Nylander fold.
Where is the same criticism for Matthews then?He was not good in last year's playoffs either. I just don't want to invest 7 million a year if this is the player we get.

And I really disagree with your assessment of him last playoffs.

Exactly how I feel too. I'm more disappointed in Matthews because I expected more from him. I think it's gone unmentioned around here just how bad he's been defensively through these four games, for example. I'm loathe to bring him up because I really don't want to get this place started with trying to tear down our franchise player, but I also don't think giving him a pass when Nylander gets all blame is fair either.Nylander is on everybody’s lips here and in the postgame thread, yet Matthews is supposed to be the best player not just on his line, but the team.
Not that I’m arguing a pile on him (far from it) just think the fury of folks is being a little too centred on Nylander (which is silly).

I asked you personally. If Nylander's bad performance so far is grounds to change our view on him, logically the same should be true for Matthews. Or do you disagree?Where is the criticism of Matthews?
Have you not read the GDT or PGT?
