i thought matthews knocked that puck down but willie flipped that pass and dropped it right on his stick
As good as his chemistry is it makes too much sense to move him to his own line. I think Marner can be just as effective on Matthews' wing as Nylander is, so that line would be just as good if not better, whereas I get the sense Willie can drive a line more effectively than Mitch at this point in time. Seems like a good way to optimize the lineup
He's in the Laine/Eichel tier. Our own Backstrom (minus Selke defense)
Such a tough question and up for debate.
Ekblad
Drai
Nylander
Ehlers
Larkin
Pastrnak
I still think its early to tell. This group shuffles by the month. Very strong group.
This has already been debunked.Nylander is playing playmaker, he is the Swedish Swiss Army knife. Give him his own line with Mitch as distributor and he will score. Brown is better for Matthews anyways.
Drai was 8th in scoring last season.............No way is Ekblad comparable to Nylander, Draisaitl and Ehlers. He has been bad since his rookie season. Nylander is the best of them all right now.

I would like to see what Nylander and Marner could do together though. Although I don't know if Hyman-Matthews-Brown can be effective for a whole season.
Matthews and Nylander are both elite line drivers. Matthews is only taking breaks to watch Nylander and vice versa.

Playing with a 100 point center for a lot of the season, Nylander IMO is and will be the better player.

Sorry these all nighters are getting to me. Thought you said Drai and Ehlers have been bad since his rookie season.
I am a big fan of willy but I am sorry it was not a good for him tonight
He is an excellent skater, that was pretty evident tonight, missed couple of changes but that give away was brutal

When you skate with the puck that much, that's just normal. He was on it all night and something has to happen, it did. You are creating an impossible standard to diminish the effort.
Tonight was the proof that he is absolutely a top end player. We just need to see where this goes (and enjoy it)
Points don't always mean everything either.
Are you insane? He was unreal tonight! Created a ton of chances but his shot was off. Don’t see how one give away makes his night brutal... he was driving offence all night
Nobody is denying his talent - he is absolutely a beast but tonight was not a great night either by him or Matthews but I request your opinion
May be I don't know what I am talking about
