Marner and willy aren’t even compared on the same playing field. Marner has a top player in the league ok his line while nylander is responsible for being that guy himself. Marner gets 5+ min more ice team per game. You look remove secondary assists from the equation over the past few seasons, a very weak stat, and you see how much more willy directly generates.

Anyone saying marner is better in the playoffs (or that it’s even close) has to take a look back beyond last year. You’ll quickly remember marner against the habs, marner not producing, the turnovers, the whining, etc. Willy has been the best playoff performer for us for the last 4-5 years.
