They're both good id take either one of them

Be that as it may, Monahan hasn't been able to win anything and he has 3 years left. For that needs of the Leafs Nylander fits better, he's faster and looks like he could still have a lot more growth in him.

no. he very much cant. his defense sucks

Toronto was 21/31 teams on pk%. That’s pretty terrible so idk if you had a point or whatever.

Idk if he’s a complete liability or if it’s just the style he is forced to play to generate points. That’s Problem with advanced stats. I think people put way too stock into them. I don’t think they are useless but I also think you can learn more by watching him play. It sounds dumb but when I I’m curious if a player is good at defense I look at +/- to start. Sound dumb but stay with me. Generally if a player is a - they are very poor defensively. There are some rare occasions but more than likely if you are a - you aren’t good In Your own end. Draisaitl Scored 110 point and was a -7 that to me tell me he’s pretty awful defensively without really needing to lol I to it. Lazy but kind of effective.

Winning is really hard. Tbh it’s more luck than skill. To be honest it’s a lot of luck mixed with overall team strategy. You can have all the talent in the world but lose to a team that buys into the same strategy.

Think it was just a genuine question. Leafs were also 13th on the PK since Keefe took over, so personally I'm not that concerned with it.

I think Matthews should play more pk. He looks like he’s drastically improved his defensive numbers and could do a lot of damage

He did improve defense significantly this season, however I still wouldn't play him on the PK. So long as they have a competent kill, I'd rather use Matthews ice time at 5v5 or on the PP.

Maybe but I think teams would think twice while he out there. Having a skilled goal scorer would be concerning during a pk

And teams need to time to earn the experience needed to get over the top. The Leafs are young and learning.
