Prospect Info: Alex Nylander (2016, 8th) – '17-18: Rochester #92 (AHL)

[Aladyyn]

The fact there are bad players on the roster now doesn't necessitate adding another marginally better player because he's got a higher talent ceiling. His game would get picked apart in the NHL right now.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Spend 15 bucks on a ticket and you'll see it in Rochester.

Last time I checked Rochester didn't play in the NHL.

And yet, even there, he gets exposed

certainly heighetening the competition will only cause him to correct his issues


e: actually, that might indeed get his head on a bit straighter. He takes shortcuts all the time because he's playing offseason car salesmen and the like. I don't think it's occurred to him that he isn't good enough to succeed doing that in the A, much less elsewhere

What part of his game gets pucked apart?

What part of his game gets pucked apart?

He's indecisive and overconfident in his possession, makes a lot of skates into nowhere both with and without the puck, doesn't use his body well.

 

[Kyndig]

Had an untouched breakaway and somehow managed to not get a shot off. That takes talent.

That's a bummer, but I hate when people use stuff like this as an indication that a player is no good.

Haha it was moreso Buffaluck. Puck bounced off his stick at the last second.

 

[sabrebuild]

Hopefully bighead can package nylander with a future and get a good player.

But will there be a harm in having him play a couple games before literally game 81-82?

 

[Tsyolin]

Another goal for Nylander in a rather uneventful game for the Amerks. Looks like he might be getting his stride against after not having scored a goal since early January prior to last night.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

He looked like the best Amerk forward today, very responsible in his own end

 

[Tsyolin]

That's 3 goals in 3 games now. Maybe he's finally turning that corner?

Beautiful release, what the hell was the defender doing?

Fun to see Pilut in witness protection

 

[Yultron]

17 games left I really hope he can finish off the season on a high note and then I would absolutely love to see him in the NHL next season

 

[Gabrielor]

I'll be very interested to see how he finishes the season. I still have some hope (voted him 4th on the poll)

 

[Weaves]

Over/Under 2.5 games for Nylander in the NHL this season? Ill take the over for a total of 3 games!

I'll take the under.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Ok ok, who is not getting excited???

Goals in 4 straight games now.

Come on, he just turned 21.


1G, 1A already tonight. Maybe he turned the corner?

Just his skating looks much improved let alone the production

With what I saw against Colorado today....I am not sure if I want Nylander up this year.

 

[Tsyolin]

Great goal. He's piling on the points lately.

 

[Yultron]

At least we have something to be excited about with Nylander and hopefully this is the Nylander we have been waiting to see and the one that was worthy of being drafted 8th overall. 4 goals in 4 games I love it

 

[Willgamesh]

I so want to be wrong, please alex

 

[Chainshot]

He's had some very nice games on this recall. Hope he turns out and keeps playing like he has the past few games. Certainly unlocks Sheary.
