RW Alexander Nylander (2016, 8th, BUF)

[Vikke]

Because he's on loan, I believe his being drafted counts as being drafted from the Swedish team he's on loan with? Honka did it with a finnish team, but was still drafted out of Swiss Current

That is correct.

Isn`t this also what Zacha did. He was on loan which made Vitkovice an option this year if he didn`t sign with Devils.

1+2 today, solid overall player.

Two Nylanders at WJC?

I certainly thought he did very well this afternoon. Tried to do a bit too much all by himself at times but has also shown the ability to make quick passes and to find players open. Has good speed and hands too and looks dangerous on the PP. Can slow done the game or go really fast as well. That was my first viewing only but I feel he has to learn when he should try to do it by himself or when he should slow down and wait for his teammates and make a play for them.

Anyway, from what I've seen he's a surefire first rounder, probably first half of the 1st round.

WJC? I guess he'll be making his case.

Would be fun but I'd give it roughly zero percent chance of happening. William is a lock of course, but he may not be available. Alex is good enough to play in an offensive role, but so was William in his draft year and he wasn't even invited to camp. Grönborg likes his older guys. Alex's chances will also decrease dramatically if William is on the team.

Looked just like his brother out there sunday, really nice player to watch. Great passer and has elite vision. What a skill set this kid has.

Those hands I wouldn't say he has the raw offensive tools of his brother, but he certainly is no slouch on the attack. He seems to have a better defensive game and has a longer reach. Wishing the best on him.

Last season I do not think he was that special, I would hardly have him then among top 6 swedish players. This season to early to tell and also different league and country. But he seems to have started this season ok.

Really don't see the Sens doing bad enough to get him.

Would make the battle of ontario even better though.

Personally, I'd like him on Toronto.

Currently tied for 2nd in OHL scoring with Tkachuk. He's been a very dangerous offensive threat but still tries to do a lot himself. I know the Steelheads aren't a team oozing with offensive talent and NHL drafted players but he needs to use his teammates more. He could benefit from shooting more on the power play when set up in the "Stamkos" spot on the half wall.

Sweet backhand.

That was filthy.

Looking like alot of good forwards in this draft.

 

[landy92mack29]

He had a solid game tonight. I'm really impressed with his vision and finding the soft spots. He had 2 goals tonight. 1st one was the above video and the 2nd one was a gift from Mcleod. Looks like a top 10 pick to me.

 

[JFG]

Better quality:

[Willy Stylez]

Damn nice backhand.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Good enough for the WJC team?

Based on talent alone he should make it but this really is a tournament of 19 year olds and most likely he will get bypassed for an older player. Even if he appears to be better than players that make the team, his skillset might be redundant and he will still get cut.
