What gift was this? I sure hope your not implying his success was fully do to Auston Matthews....Nylander had 13 points in 22 games on a Leaf team before Matthews or Marner that was much worse than Canucks team Horvat was on. No one is saying he's an old man, I'm simply making a point that his production is increasing but it wasn't very good to start.
Horvat was a 4th line player in his rookie year. He played just over 12 mins per game with no PP time. Nylander had much better opportunity as opposed to Horvat who had to earn everything he got. He had 13 goals & 25 points in 68 games. I don't think that's too bad for a 4th line player.
Its an odd comparison between the two when your just bringing up points. Different players that have always had different roles.
