**William Nylander signs for 6 years, per Dreger**

Burtchie boy has slaughtered patty. I haven't looked too much into his stats myself. But I do find it interesting how every line he's on oddly ends up sucking thick juicy cock.

Strangely though, he seems to always look pretty good with Kadri. Kadri seemed to pick up his game when Marleau was put there. They haven't been bad the past few games, in any event.

Yep, it was that and ... I need to go look this up. It was kind of alarming when I saw it. It goes back to last season as well.

It may have been zone exits?.....I remember there was two clear line driving numbers where he had fallen off the face of the earth, from career norms.
 
I'm more excited about getting Nylander reasonably inked long-term than I was with Tavares. It's a great day to be a Leafs fan.
 
Nylander might wobble after missing so much time and have a mediocre season. But if he'd had the chance at another season before this negotiation, I suspect he'd have no probs demanding $8m+.

Yeah, the fact we had the look down the barrel like that with 3 minutes on the clock before news broke......makes the high of his signing that much more satisfying.

We are gonna f*ck the league up.

I'm still somewhat concerned about Freddie cause playoff is a different animal.

But I'm more concerned about our RDs than Freddie.

Key is going to be Babs usage of him. Our forwards can definitely outscore any issue on D (although it would be nice to upgrade one spot on RD for sure).
 
I am so glad this is over! Looks like both sides got what they wanted.

This lineup is firefighting! How do other teams stop us.

Do we add Willy to the 1st PP unit playing the point with Reilly?

You sir, are predictable.

Seriously though, the numbers were awful. Even with stiff comp, ugly numbers, and a big assed drop from his recent years (all stiff comp).

always remember that the burden of proof is still on those who argue the non-common sense position that it doesn't matter what calibre of player you are matched up against. the fact they have dismissed qoc's significance based on a handful of flawed experiments is bad enough, but even worse when it so consistently explains all their biggest mistakes.

Looking at my handy gameday chart, Marleau's -2.3 avg rel is poor, but not awful. Babs is definitely playing him too high in the lineup , but it's not a disaster.

I think you're misrepresenting some -- they do not (at least those I read) dismiss QoC (some do) but rather say QoC matters but QoT > QoC. That's the consensus from what I can see. I'm personally ambivalent.

It's his transition stats that are awful. I flip on whether he's done or not. I can see some value there still.

nah, they dismiss it - as in, they don't even consider it when looking at the possession numbers. I'm not talking what they say about it, just whether or not they let it effect their analysis of the numbers. and they don't.

and dismissing the quality of player a player is up against is so obviously wrongheaded that they should know that they need much more thorough proof to dismiss it.

and transition stats are interesting but the overall impact stats are probably the only thing that actually matters.

How much do you weigh QoC?....how poor of an adjusted CF% are you comfortable to dismissing on account of QoC.
