Anyone saying the Leafs should trade Nylander now should also have to share whether they were saying the Leafs should trade Marner last year when he only scored 2 goals in his first 34 games.

1. Marner still had plenty of points and never looked as lost as Nylander currently does.
2. Marner is a much better hockey player.
3. Marner didn't just come off a hold-out and isn't a little bitch.
Marner was awful to start last season. You're lying to yourself. He was invisible.
3 points in 18 games.
3.
Maybe you're new to this professional hockey thing. Usually, when players miss the training camp, preseason and a couple of months, they don't produce much.
Of course, Nylander's issue is almost entirely poor luck. Virtually all of his metrics are where they've been in his career except his shooting % and on-ice sv%. But don't let that interfere with your resentment.
Care to put your money where your mouth is re: Marner? I say he won't be a bitch like Nylander and will sign prior to Game 1 of the regular season. Name whatever stakes you want.
I suspect I know what your answer will be though.
I'm embarrassed for you.
