Mitch is basically Johnny with better defense and worse hands. Nylander is a beefed-up version of Lindholm.
Ian Tulloch who writes about the Leafs would agree. Between the blue lines Nylander is one of the better forwards in the league gaining the line. All things considered, I would rather have Nylander and his contract than Marner and his contract. Debatable who is better, but IMO no way Marner is ~4 million per better.
