Yeah really... Wheeler is a machine, is far better than Nylander, being a more complete player and all. Not just some perimeter softy like Nylander. Got what 30 more points than Willy did last year and still took around 6 million dollar contract.

Willy, his dad and his agent are smoking some killer stuff if they aren't budging from 8 million

8.25mln for years he is 33 to 38
now that will be one of the worst contracts in the nhl by the time he'll be 36y old.
brad richards with NYR v2.0
(at least the leafs dodged that bullet)

Dodged the Richards bullet but got hit between the eyes with the Clarkson one.

If Kap keeps playing well....yes for sure IMO

Right now Kadri's line is pretty much invisible.

Komarov was the secret to his success all along!!!!!

Maybe? Or maybe it was Marner?

Matthews doesnt just prop up willie, he also helps Auston

Hard to imagine the Leafs can still get better..at goalsing

Conclusion: rest of the team needs to step up their shooting %

EDIT: that can't be right - 9shots per 60mins??

Meh, Wheeler has been getting better with age. I don't see his production declining any time soon. He has great line mates and they have great chemistry. He will still put up around 60 points later in that contract he signed. I'm sure of it.

1 player does not take all the shots in 1 game. but he averages over 3 shots per game..playing 20 mins... so x 3 ....

Cool, so Matthews has 9 shots per 60 minutes, while off the ice as well??

(EDIT: my point is, LEAFS have over 18shots/game)

Probably more Marner.....

Komarov was good defensively, but the guys who like 7-6 games just don't like it.

We didn't dodge that bullet.

We were actually waving our hands frantically, screaming "shoot us in the face! Shoot us in the face!"

And then Richards turned the gun towards the Rangers and fired.

The thing is, Matthews is getting the most TOI he's ever had, so it makes sense it would drop.

Metaphorically speaking...
But you're right.

How can Toronto score so much when Matthews and Tavares are overrated poop propped up by the Toronto Sports Network?!

Yeah, all I hear is how overated Matthews is. LOL. Mcdavid is better 5 on 5 and that's it....

Personally, I say McDavid >> Matthews because McDavid IS better than Matthews.

Also, he played the first two games with Ennis. Not a knock on Ennis, but he is not Nylander.

HDCF% together 52.9%

Matthews without 58.23%

Nylander without 37.74%

I like Willie, just don't think he raises Matthews as much as the other way around.

But lets get him signed and the get the show rolling already.
