Drouin vs Nylander

[M2Beezy]

Nylander and AINEC

Raw I might consider Drouin but Nylander has proven more so I'll take him

 

[howkie]

I want to see after this season, finally Drouin will be the guy. Last season he made Boyle and Flippe look like allstars.

But as now, Nylander...but then we have to consider his new contract next year, if he gets around 7, is he 1,5 mil better than Drouin

 

[tony d]

Going with Nylander.

Literally everything has pointed to Nylander being better so far in their respective careers. He has a much better chance at being a C, and he's a year younger.

Hold on to one great play though.

I guess this is the point of view if you cant look at the player objectively. Look at all the offense Drouin created last season there are plenty of youtube videos. Drouin is the reason its happening, its not the product of his teamates. Nylander benefited alot from his teamates, however to me that is also a skill. Nylander has phenomenal hockey sense and is really good at getting away from his check and getting lose in the weeds. Drouin lacks in that skill but his speed, tenacity and style of play is to create offense around him is really special.

Honestly they would probably be really incredible together as both their skill sets would compliment one another.

Nylander, but Drouin could surprise a few people this season and finally start hitting his stride.

They have been saying that for a couple years now

 

[Jared Dunn]

Stats aren't everything and the 1st half of the season he wasn't commited very much and then Babcock called him out and had a much better 2nd half of the season

Stats aren't everything but in this case they do prove the exact case I'm making lol

Also I watched almost every Leaf game last year, he looked 10x better on Matthews' wing

 

[Jared Dunn]

Yes he is.

It's insulting to Nylander to really mention these two in the same sentence.

People like you make it SO hard not to generalize and despise all Leafs fans on this board

 

[The Great Weal]

Nylander. However, anyone who says AINEC is just being ridiculous.

 

[CraigsList]

Nylander is the safer pick and has been a lot better than Drouin.

Willy Nylander is world class.

This is not even close.

 

[Sensinitis]

you implied he couldn't take over a game by specifying that Drouin can

He said Drouin can take over a game LIKE FEW CAN.

But thanks for highlighting your insecurities over a simple hockey player...

Nylander. However, anyone who says AINEC is just being ridiculous.

Drouin has played in the league much longer, is known to have attitude problems, and his career high in points is 8 points fewer not even mentioning being a worse possession player.

They really shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, it's insulting to Nylander.

 

[Sensinitis]

Lol what have you done for me lately



Drouin is on another level

It's not just about recency bias. Its about the Leafs looking like a good team with potential after a decade of disappointment, and now we're witnessing some kind of ego-trip throughout a significant proportion of the Leaf fanbase. Particulalry over how magnificent and extraordinary their players are.

Edit: see post above, lol

Yeah, a small part of me wants to see what they have been building absolutely implode just to leave the nonsense Leafs fans on these boards with absolutely nothing to say lol

Insulting to mention Nylander and Drouin in the same sentence hahaha priceless

I dont think theres a need to want that. That toronto team looks real good and it will be fun to see what they accomplish. Matthews Marner and Nylander are unreal players.

But I see what you mean lol

To be fair, I said a small part

 

[MapleLeafs94]

Drouin is a very flashy and exciting player. But Nylander has just been better so far, simple as that.

That is incorrect. Drouin has not played "much" longer. And are you just not going to mention the fact that Drouin played with inferior players AND less games?
