Kyle Connor vs. William Nylander

[IPS]

Wait, I thought Matthews was the best player in the game?

Oh he’s not? Right...

He is. But the gap between Blake Wheeler and Zach Hyman is still wayyyy bigger than the gap between Scheifele and Matthews.

So the linemates argument is a no go. The minutes argument is a no go. You guys got nothing left.

Matthews isn’t generational enough I guess

Matthews isn’t generational enough I guess

yeah I don't think Connor McDavid would be generational enough to close the gap between Hyman and Wheeler either.

But on topic: I already proved Connor has sweet f*** all over Nylander, so my work is done.

I dont think you know what a proof is.

I dont think you know what a proof is.

Nylander out-producing Connor with less PP time and inferior linemates is my proof. I only deal with facts brother, Connor is clearly the inferior party.

 

[Critical13]

Making the poll during a holdout Is an interesting endeavour.

Reminds me of the Laine vs Matthews, Rielly vs Trouba and Little vs Kadri shit shows. I’m sure it will age just as well as those

That's not a proof of your claim.

How did their P/G compare? And their on-ice sh%? And their goal scoring?

 

[M2Beezy]

Nylander plays with a generational player according to you.
Swing and a miss!

Team Sweden with Elias Pettersson???

Anyways, Connor easy breasy here. Im sure thatll shock some Jets fans me saying that

 

[BAM]

Nylander has gotten to play with Auston Matthews, who you guys proclaim to be God.

You can't have it both ways

Are you serious...

Matthews played 62 games last year and still, Scheifele and Wheeler > Matthews (last year) + Hyman.

Connor plays on a line with 2 elite players, Nylander plays on a line with Matthews (awesome) and Hyman...

 

[Taluss]

Off the top of my head Nylander, but I don’t watch either teams enough to know how they play defensively and I know Connor was pretty solid last year.

Didn’t vote because of that

 

[lawrence]

I haven't noticed him playing, didn't even see him show up in the playoffs.

Connor for me.

 

[Dustin]

Not enough voting options.

 

[snowkiddin]

I love how in these polls every Jet player is a product of who they are playing with.

Back in the “good old days” of the Laine vs. Matthews threads, it was noted that Laine got to play with Scheifele, but in the Scheifele vs. Matthews threads, it was “Scheifele gets to play with Laine.”

For Golly’s sake, someone on that team has got to be good

 

[ricky0034]

Connor by a little bit

I think he can widen the gap going forward and make it more than a little but but we'll see about that

 

[zeke]

Kapanen > Connor

 

[heretik27]

Connor also gets PP1 time, something Nylander didn't get.

He does this season. I think the Jets had Lowry manning the net front for most of last season as a screen instead of Connor near the net ready to snatch up loose pucks. Pretty sure he spent most of his time on the second PP unit just like Nylander would have if you say he didn't get PP1 time. We can't compare the two this season because Nylander hasn't signed yet, but Connor fits that top line perfectly and he's only getting better.

Says the fanbase bitching about Laine with Little. LOL.

 

[heretik27]

Says the fanbase *****ing about Laine with Little. LOL.

Hey now, Little just played his best game between the two in a long time. Sipowicz might have been right when he said he was hearing Roslovic's footsteps lol
They posted a graph during the game showing that Ehlers only had something like 4 of his 29 goals scored last season assisted by Little, and Little assisted on something like 5 or 6 of Laine's 44 goals. It was like he was listening to all of the people talking shit and decided to step his game up.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Kapanen > Connor

lol

 

[M2Beezy]

I like how half the ‘Neutral fan voting Nylander’ votes are from Leaf fans

Insecure much

 

[Neutral Hockey Fan]

This is actually a good comparison. With a handful of well respected hockey analysts talking yesterday (and today) about Connor and his projected asking price of 8.5 million, it will be interesting to see the contracts of these 2 players

Judging by the votes so far, we should see Connor come in quite a bit more expensive than Nylander. Will be exciting to see how it plays out

 

[BAM]

If Connor is better then the Jets better hope they can come up with the $7 million + it'll take to sign him then.

 

[tony d]

Option 3 for me. Both are solid players though.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Kapanen > Connor

Incoming cherry picked stats alert!

 

[Connor McConnor]

Very close, but I'd go Nylander just because I think he can carry play on his own better than Connor. Skill-wise not much separating them imo.
