Kyle Connor Vs William Nylander

[The List Of Jericho]

Connor has twice the playoff production of your boy Willie

Really? Last I checked 5 career playoff points is more than 3 but I guess math in the Peg must be different.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

I'm just saying. bringing up last year holds no relevancy to this year unless the jets were in the playoffs(which they weren't)

it's player vs player accomplishments and you're bringing up team success
that argument is useless and getting quite old. it's weird how people still try and bring it up

I'm not saying this means connor is better because of this one playoff run btw

There is literally no argument showing Connor is better than Nylander. He’s never had a better season or even callup lol.

Except he was better his rookie year than Nylander’s rookie or sophomore year? You can’t be serious with this post...?

Ah got it. More points = better right?

You heard it here folks, The List of Jericho acknowledging that Laine is better than Matthews

Last I checked 57 isn’t better than 61 but that Peg math might have me beat again. Aren’t you one of the guys that’s always clamoring saying that “might have” or “could have” doesn’t mean anything. Well there you have it.

So you have no problem admitting Laine is better than Matthews right? After all, higher number = means better player, yeah?

I added something to the last post knowing you’d come back to this. Can’t have it both ways there bud. At least Auston has had a year where he did top your boy in everything, no such case with your boy Connor. Always next year but I wouldn't bank on it. Nylander had a rough season and still beat him, you can only imagine when he’s on.

And if you realistically think a over PPG player wouldn’t have managed more than 7 points in 20 games well there’s no helping you lol.

Give me Connor every day.

Points aside, Connor's board play and work in the corners is fantastic. It's why he works so well on the Scheif - Wheels line.

But, as with most of these comparisons, he's just a product of the people around him.

I agree. Every time I watch Toronto it seems Willy is very tentative to go hard after pucks in the corner. He is butter soft. Great skill player though.

 

[ole ole]

Connor or the buttercup. I'll take Connor.

never said that either
just calling out on your weak rebuttal of bring up a playoff series last year

do you wanna be productive or difficult? seems like you'd rather want to be difficult

Nylander fell off a cliff

I guess he was found, big in Game 6

Went Nylander here but it's tight in my opinion. Good poll.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Voted Nylander because a) home team vote and b) Willy can slide into the middle and will likely end up as a center. Not familiar enough with Connor to know if that's in his arsenal. So this point may be moot (not mute).

I picked Nylander here, but I keep seeing anytime Nylander is brought up that he can slide into the middle and is likely a center. How many years has it been since hes played center now? I'm not so sure hes going to be a center at the NHL level and if he is, he hasntplayed it for so long that I dont really think it should be used as a point in his favour. Hasnt it been since like 2014 that hes actually played center at any level?

Literally like 20 games ago. He played C 1/4 of this season while Matthews was out. Also takes all FO on his strong side.

A lot of where Willy plays will be determined this summer. If we sign JT he's not playing there next season and may never as a Leaf. He also may move into the middle if they move on from Kadri after this contract is over. However, if they don't get JT he could be their C solution going forward as early as next season.
He may be a winger here for a couple more seasons and them move on to another team as a C.

Yep and I think Bozak will obviously play a factor in that as well this offseason. I'm not saying he cant ever play center, but at what point do you stop using it as a point in his favour when he hasnt really done it his entire NHL career?

Good question. I'm not sure but it's not yet.

He has. Not a lot but he's gotten some looks in each of his first 3 seasons. And, as was mentioned, he takes a lot of draws on his strong side.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Connor but it's pretty close
It's not like I would be saying no to Nylander
Both are great young players

 

[HarrisonFord]

I wouldn’t doubt it, he looks like a faster, quicker Scheifele.

So he’s better than Schiefele?

 

[6ix]

Connors been a f***ing joke in my playoff pool. For all the hype and tiring pumping this guy hasn’t even scored a f***ing goal. Can’t even score a goal playing with schiefele and wheeler. Guys looking like a product of his linemates, couldn’t even pot a goal against a sutlerless wild team.

Now he’s going up against a stacked Nashville team, fml.

lol

Connor played well, sometimes pucks don't go in. Had a couple beautiful assists, had a bunch of chances that just missed, he'll be fine. Nashville has let in plenty of goals in the playoffs and against the Jets this season, I doubt it will be low scoring.

He played centre during his callup in 15-16 and scored at just under a 50 point pace.

He also played more games at centre this past season than he did in ‘16-17 season.

He’s technically still a sophomore and Babcock has openly stated he’s not a fan of younger guys at centre. I don’t think enough time has passed to say he’ll be a winger full time in the NHL
