Jonathan Drouin vs William Nylander

[David Suzuki]

Hes right. Drouin felt entitled to play in the NHL despite his team feelng he wasn't ready. Nylander simply wanted to get paid fairly. It's a business game. There's no reason why he should take a pay cut so the leafs can spend more on Marner and Matthews

It was also a business decisison for Drouin.

It was also a business decisison for Drouin.

So walking out on his AHL team when he was not called up to the NHL is now a business decision.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Both are overrated but I’d go with Nylander. He still has a reasonable chance at improving his defensive game to an adequate level, and has shown flashes of good defensive play, unlike Drouin.

Doesn't watch the games, nor checks up on stats.

...and breach of contract

I’ve seen him a million times

 

[Newsworthy]

I think Drouin walking out makes him look a lot worse than anything NYlander has done.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Don't know who to take in this soft off. Think Nylander has the better career.

 

[elmaco]

18 and 3 for Nylander, playing less than Kapanen a night. This is Drouin ainec.

!= poor defensively

Bump this for next season.
Still a small sample size.

I agree with the bolded especially. I’m a Habs fan and have defended Drouin’s season but neither one of these guys is a player I’d feel confident going to war (playoffs).

It only Gallagher’s compete level could rub off on Drouin and someone like Kapanen’s compete level could rub off on Nylander, they’d be much better assets.

Saw off??
Drouin has never done what Nylander has done on either side of the puck, and still isn't on pace to do so.
Close but no.

Soft off, not saw off.

If the person I quoted meant to type saw off, that’s not the point inward trying to make. Unjust don’t feel either guy is a player I’d depend on to continually step in a playoff atmosphere.

Nylander put up more in his rookie year than Drouin did in his career?

Drouin had 14 pts in 17 games and was one of tampas best forward last time he was in the playoffs.
Just saying

Yes because we should base things off small sample sizes not the years where you know the guy didn't miss camp and the first two plus months of the year

I might officially and permanently change my vote to Nylander. And I will. But first he has to pass Jaro Halak in scoring before I do.

Nylander’s been demoted to the fourth line against Florida tonight. I guess Babcock’s seen enough.

 

[LeafFever]

Nylander has better numbers in a shorter career and is more talented.

 

[LeafFever]

Drouin. He has a better contract and is the better player.

1 50 point season in 5 years vs 2 60 point seasons in 3.

 

[LeafFever]

Great poll, two mega skilled inconsisstent soft dissapointments.

William Nylander, 2 full NHL seasons, both ended with 61 points.

3 points in 19 games and you post this. Haha welcome to reality.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Drouin has the better salary, better production and better hockey hair.

Game set match, Drouin.

This year, no other year. Nylander 1st 2 years he scored more than Drouin has in a longer career.

That's why Drouin's salary is "Better", he has scored a lot less.
