Pete Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't see it as a fascination. Any time a good player is potentially available we generally talk about them.No, this forum is fascinated with him. He's a 20+ goal, 60+ point player who fades away in the playoffs and people here drool over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 His dad is a god, tho. Maybe if they trade for him we can bring him out of retirement. He'd probably be a better 2C than Chytil. :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 As I watched Alex Nylander quite a bit this year, it makes me dislike Willy's game even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Head Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 It?s just rare that a former #8 overall who?s 22 and has 162 points already might be available. And probably the lower his value will ever be coming off a shortened season. I wouldn?t put too much emphasis in his playoff stats. 11 pts in 20 games at ages 19-21 isn?t completely terrible. He hasn?t hit his peak, but not sure if he?s a fit here with the assets it would take.

Phil Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Rangers and Leafs are awful trade partners all around. They both need the same thing, largely, which makes any deal for their forward surplus difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Zibanejad, 23, 151 points, #6 pick He turned into a pretty good player since, no? Rangers won that deal, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Head Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Zibanejad, 23, 151 points, #6 pick Pretty good comparison actually. At same ages, (from draft). Nylander #8 pick Games- 239 Points- 162 PPG- .678 Zib #6 pick Games- 281 Points- 151 PPG- .537 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 He turned into a pretty good player since, no? Rangers won that deal, hands down. Very good deal. At this age, data shows that the player has 3-5 of increase in production. More importantly, they go from learning the game, to being much more complete during this time. Like I said, perfect age to get ahold of Nylander, but I think it would take much more than what we gave for Zib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I admit, one of my biggest fears with Nylander, is looking to the future of having Kravtsov, Kakko, Zibanejad, Chytil, Panarin*, Nylander as your top 6. That's not a squad built for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a squad built for the playoffs. And to add to that...he?s been centered by Matthews quite a bit.
