Yeah he only threw a hissy fit over money and sat out half a season. Came back slumping hard and its embarassing with the overpayment and all. Drouin got nothing on Nylander.
16 games-such a massive sample size.

Way to give a first impression after signing a ludicrous deal.16 games-such a massive sample size.

3 points in doesnt look good even if its just 16 games and counting.Not ludicrous, not the 1st, not the last player to do this.
You still think 16 games is a lot.
Nylander is not the first player who has done something like that. Plus you mean to tell me that Drouin walking out on his AHL team and demanding that Tampa Bay trades him since he was not called up is not worse than Nylander not playing over his contract when he was an RFA?Yeah he only threw a hissy fit over money and sat out half a season.

Would you argue these players are consistent performers night in night out or are you actually this simple
I agree. Drouin is inconsistent as ****.

If you need help reading the basic stats i'm more than happy to help you out
If you need an example here is a Duo that is consistently bad and are helping their team to a last place finish

The metrics that show he has 3 points in 17 games? G.A.R.B.A.G.E
Nylander may have had that contract dispute and missed all those games, but at least he didn't leave his AHL team like Drouin did when he was with Tampa and demanded a trade. Plus if he was not French Canadian there is no way Montreal gives up Sergachev for him.
Walking out on a team because you are pissed off about not being in the NHL is a lot worse than Nylander not playing because him and the Leafs could not agree on a contract.Are you being serious? lol
Drouin sat out a few ahl games because he wanted to be traded.
Nylander sat out 28 nhl games because he wanted more money.
What Nylander did is way worse than what Drouin did. Not even close...

Hes right. Drouin felt entitled to play in the NHL despite his team feelng he wasn't ready. Nylander simply wanted to get paid fairly. It's a business game. There's no reason why he should take a pay cut so the leafs can spend more on Marner and Matthewslmao holy homer
It would certainly help his cause. At this point he looks like a good player who cashed in and now milking the cash cowSo if he goes PPG going forward...is he then a jewel? haha
When Willy comes back to life, gonna laugh hard at some of the posts in here. Recency bias at it's best

Nylander wanted to be paid fairly? Wasn't he asking for 7.5+ M? He's definitely not worth that much.
Your saying Nylander felt he was worth more than what Dubas wanted to pay him, so its okay for him to have sat out 28 games?
Drouin wasn't ready to play in the nhl? You realize the year prior to his trade request, he had 32 pts in 70 nhl games while playing 4th minutes? Drouin was easily an nhl player, but because of tampa's depth and Cooper not liking him, they weren't playing him. Furthermore, Drouin had asked for a trade request long before it went public, and Yzerman didn't grant it. "It's a business game" like you say, no reason for Drouin to report to the ahl team and risk an injury (and potential the trade) when he had already asked several times to Yzerman to be traded . He wasn't getting paid either since he was suspended.
In the end, the difference is that Drouin missed a few ahl games, whereas Nylander missed 28 nhl games.
The bottom line is you are insinuating that someone leaving their team while under contract is more understandable than a player sitting out because he was not able to agree to a contract with his club. If you believe that, rock on. I think many of us would argue against it.
Drouin walked out on his AHL team after he complained about not being called up to the NHL. That is so much worse and I can't believe we need to explain why it is.Right, lets ignore the fact that Nylander's situation made him missed 28 nhl games, and Drouin's situation made him miss a few ahl games

Yes I would because he walked out on his team when he did not get his way.and I can't believe you just ignore the amount and type of games they missed. Im sure if Nylander had decided to miss the whole year, you would still argue that what Drouin did was worse...
