While moving on from any member of the core four will likely come back to bite the Maple Leafs, Nylander...
In terms of playoff scoring in the past few seasons where the Leafs have been a true powerhouse, Nylander is right up there with Matthews and Marner in terms of point production, and the further you dive into the context of those points, the better it looks for him.
Another important thing to note in the chart above is their points per 60 minutes, as that’s also where Nylander holds a significant advantage because he doesn’t get nearly as much ice time as the other three. Despite producing just as consistently as the other three, and producing even more later in the series than them, Nylander usually gets the short end of the stick for ice time. If Sheldon Keefe wants to load up the top line, it usually is Matthews, Marner, and Tavares.
He’s also the smoothest skater of the four, especially when he utilizes it in transition. It’s obviously useful when setting up plays in the offensive zone, but he also uses it to move the puck up the ice and into the zone with possession, something you don’t see quite as often with the other three players.
