It's not outrage at all, in fact I feel he will be fine whatever position he ends up playing. However you seem to constantly bring it up as if playing wing somehow makes him less of a player. He has been getting better in the minors defensively as a C and is currently playing C in the NHL so I don't see why you constantly feel the need to bring up the fact that he might end up as a winger. As if he can only succeed on the wing because you think he will not be strong enough defensively.
Let me just say this, Nylander right now is better defensively than Kadri was at the same age and even though it took Naz a few years he has really improved his D game big time. Heck, if I recall Kadri played mainly wing during his NHL stints before coming in full time as a C. So just relax, still an extremely small sample size.
I look at players and I evaluate them through observation mostly from years of watching hockey. I think I have a good record here making player judgments on this board, in particular NHL prospects. So take my opinions as just that. Opinions that may or may not be correct. But I do think I do know a thing about watching hockey players.
I agreed with a post of yours earlier today that said basically what I alluded to yesterday, but for some reason you objected for me bringing up Sunday.
It was on the topic of I do not know if Nylander will be a Center in the NHL. And to be fair I did point out it was 4 games into a NHL career, it is a very small sample. But if I didn't hint at it loud enough then, I am now. I think he would make a terrific winger. 5 games in now, I don't know if he looks like a Center to me. The AHL is vastly different than the NHL. In my opinion, I see a skill set that may be better suited as a winger than a Center. Which is no shame to any young player. Playing Center in the NHL is a very tough proposition for even experienced players. IE Larkin, Reinhart, look at Seguin today.
Now I realize discussing prospects with Leafs fans here is a precarious position at times, because hey I get it Leafs fans are an emotionally invested bunch when talking about their own players here. I would rather discuss prospects with neutral fans. But it is what it is I guess.
The observations I make are on a NHL prospect. That's the way I see them here. Look at my posting history. The majority are on other team's players. So let's get that out of the way.
This was a good response, one I could reply to where we can have a discussion on. Wish you replied this way yesterday. Hopefully more posts will be more like this. Thanks.
