I know people point at playoff production but Marner actually has higher playoff production too.
It is amazing how much recency bias most fans have. In the summer, most people felt $10M was too much for Nylander, and for many, anything in the 9s was too much. He has a career year, and now he is one of the top 5 forwards in the NHL apparently.
