I posted this over 2 years ago and got a lot of criticism.
Can William Nylander elevate his game come playoffs?
Anyone who has been watching the Marlies so far this playoffs will have noticed that Nylander really isn't standing out much. His style is very laid back and passive but he has incredible hands to finish plays off, but plays aren't coming to him and he isn't going out and creating anything for himself. Which makes me wonder, does he have another level of competitiveness? Looking at his career stats there's no indication of it. He was knocked out of the WJC too early to tell but his playoff stats with the Marlies last season and so far this season aren't very impressive, and MODO was one of the worst teams when he played there so they weren't sniffing the playoffs.
Don't get me wrong I am a big fan of Nylander. I hope he has another level. He's just so cool and laid back out there so it's hard to tell.
Still wondering the same thing today.
