Leafs seldom sell high. Probably helps explains why we have not hoisted the Cup since 1967.

He's not going to get the same amount of points as the other big guns because there isnt room on the powerplay for him at the moment (or at least when marner is healthy) but if he keeps up his 5 on 5 production we should all be really happy. That said for whatever reason our power play blows right now so who knows what will happen

Though, i think a better argument is thst the Leafs would be better off in general NOT selling off any of its prime young talent.
We can name an awful lot of cases where its led to absolute disaster for the team, and few if any successes
I'm expecting the PP to get better this month. Marner has been the biggest issue with it thus far, and Nylander is a better fit for the strategy that they want to employ.
2 for 7 so far.

I'm just trying to be creative with my responses in the absence of my like button. I guess I better stop............
no no keep it up, i didnt realize youd lost a like button.
Side note what kind of punishment is stopping people liking things?
"oh thats it we've had it up to here with your posts you leave us with no more choice you cant like other posts for a while. But feel free to keep posting though"

That's not the point dude. The point we've been drilling across since last year is that Nylander had a very cold start when he returned last season. People found everything and anything to nitpick him.
I'm calling out the people that called him a 50-point one-dimensional player multiple times, which made zero sense. All underlying stats indicated in a huge-rebound year, which many people denied would happen. Since Jan 1st 2019, William Nylander is 2nd on the team in 5v5 points and is top-2 for majority of the possession-stats category. Heck, he's on pace for 33 goals.
Trade him now if needed, but there's still more to come. His on-ice sh% suggest his numbers are sustainable, but his PP totals will go up. That's 50-60 points at 5v5, and hopefully 20 points on the PP for a total of 70 - 80 points hopefully. I really doubt it makes any sense to trade away a 6.9M player who's sustainably likely to produce 30+ goals and 70+ points while arguably being the best possession player on the team. It's not guaranteed obviously but if he finishes the season like that, there's no way you trade that player with a great contract unless something amazing comes along.

Willy has played very well, even know he will get criticized.
He has been one of the best Leafs this season, way better than Marner at half the cap hit.

William continues his point streak, with 12 points so far in 12 games.
