Don't know where this floater tag comes from.
Probably same place that tags him as easy to knock down or doesn't go to the front of the net.
Excerpt from The Athletic:
"His seven credited takeaways are tied for second on the Leafs with Marner (who led the league in that department last year) behind only Matthews’ 12. Relevantly, he’s also turning the puck over when he has it much less than Matthews and Marner are, with impressively just one giveaway so far this season. The latter stat is a pretty clear indicator of good puck management/protection for a player who has it as much as he does"
analytics... thats all you and 90 percent on this thread care about. i get it, you think bill nylander is the next george ferguson. nothing wrong with cheering for your team, but at least be transparent and see it from both sides. the marchand hit was a hockey play nothing more, unfortunate liligren got hurt, but liligren did initiate contact did he not? hardest hit all night Pasternak wall papering reilly into the boards in the first period, didnt see tuff guy reeves chase him down and throttle him. if reeves wants to go next time they meet, trent frederic will be happy to accomodate. mr douglas and a couple of others on this thread, at least make valid points, all you other so called leaf fans, can go piss up a rope. sorry for the long rant, CHEERS
