No he is with Kadri and Komarov. Leafs have 4 4th lines right now so doesn't really matter.
And I have no idea how Nylander gets such a short leash but Marner looks way worse and doesn't seem to get the same crap.
Babcock has basically taken the confidence out of this team. Before they were flying. Offensively gifted and great vision. Now the whole team is afraid to make a mistake. Nylander looked great all year until he was parked on the 4th for way too long. Since then you can tell he is overthinking it.
I hope Babcock has some grand master plan because right now this is ugly.
