Konecny had 5 more PPP because Nylander spent a decent amount of the season on the Leafs PP2. If this is addressed he will get time with that (should be) killer first PP unit, which will boost his value even more.

I understand my pick of Nylander relies on a lot of variables, but I think Dubas really will do whatever he can to keep the band together and and I like the potential of Nylander thriving because of that.
This is kind of the way that I lean, too. I also agree with the post right below this quoted one, that if I owned one of them, I wouldn't trade him straight up for the other (unless it filled a positional need).
