Max Domi v William Nylander

[Rolo]

Domi has a career ptspg of .65 (53pts a year)
Nylander has a career ptspg of .72 (60pts a year)

Nylander is a year younger.

Domi has had a MUCH worse supporting cast and line mates.
Domi is playing 1C on a very bad Montreal Canadiens team (on paper).

Both have a similar draft pedigree.

This is closer then you think.

It's really not, Domi is off to a really, really hot start. He's not a #1C, the guy has absurdly high PDO which will eventually come down. I don't mean to single him out as a bunch of Leafs are also very high in PDO but those are guys like Tavares who is a proven PPG player and Marner who is one the best young players in the league. I just don't think a guy like Domi is suddenly better than most of the players in the league at producing points after ~20 games.

Over an 82 game season, that normalizes and the usual guys are leading the league in points, goals, etc. With the start Domi has had though, he should be able to put up 60+ points this season though.

His season so far is eerily similar to the season Kadri had in 2012-13 during the lockout shortened season (his P/60 was higher than Crosby who was absolutely killing it that season). Thank god that season was only 48 games or Kadri would be a lot more expensive just because he got very lucky one season and put near PPG over 82 games.

Next time you should add options for Leafs and Habs fans to vote, and options for a neutral vote

What's this about the past ?

Isn't the poll about going forward ?

Raw nerve, I say...

Better player going forward, don't look at the past. so Domi.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

So you're taking Domi over the younger, higher ceiling player who's been more productive over his NHL career? OK then

What’s lazy is calling a player younger when he’s just a year and two months younger. Cmon. Yeah he’s technically younger but not as much to make a difference as you’re trying to make it.

Also, Nylander gets the treat of playing with Auston Matthews, sure hope he would be productive.

 

[turkeyslurpees]

I’d take Nylander but Domi is having a crazy good season

No i'm taking the player that is leading his team instead of the one that is just a passenger.

Yeah ok. We'll see if Domi can keep this up or if he'll revert to his regular form

 

[MMC]

It’s Domi. Nylander is becoming one of the most overrated players in the league.

 

[pabst blue ribbon]

Recency bias+shooting 26% is one hell of a drug

 

[NiL8r87]

Nylander easily based on history. We’ll see how Domi does with the Habs but he looks good so far.

 

[Revelation]

Domi. Nylander is as overrated as his dad was

 

[Novak Djokovic]

As someone who dislikes the Leafs, I'm going with Nylander.

 

[crowi]

Nylander easily, no matter how much I dislike his softness.

 

[rent free]

It’s Domi. Nylander is becoming one of the most overrated players in the league.

how?

 

[ole ole]

Yeah ok. We'll see if Domi can keep this up or if he'll revert to his regular form

And if he keeps it up, than what?

 

[Maplebeasts]

And if he keeps it up, than what?

We'll have to see if it's any better than what Nylander does when he gets back. Domi is fresh off of 2 godawful seasons. 18 games is nowhere near long enough to say anything.

 

[PKWeber]

Nylander is soft af and looks like he cares about his hair more than hockey. This is Domi easily.

 

[sr edler]

Nylander is as overrated as his dad was

Michael Nylander was overrated? By whom? People even cared to rate him?

I've called Willy "Junior Puck Hog" here on the board, a bit facetiously, but he's way better than Senior Puck Hog at letting the puck go, better/faster skater and he has a better shot too. Senior Puck Hog was primarily a selfish (but quite skilled) playmaker who probably thought he was God's gift to hockey himself.

Nylander easily based on history you say,

Nylander Career PPG AVERAGE .70 While playing on the Leafs
Domi Career PPG average .65 While playing on the Habs and the Dogs

Nylanders Career Average = Turns out to about 4 more pts in a season than Domi's career average.

.73 actually. They’re both scorers so I’m not sure what your argument is. Nylander’s beat Domi’s career high twice by quite a bit.

You say 8 pts is quite a bit. I say it's not that much but than again we ''ll see what the end of this season brings. I see Domi beating Nylanders career high by quite a bit by the end of this season.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Then the goal posts will move. And he will have to keep it up for two years.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Then the goal posts will move. And he will have to keep it up for two years.

Why ?

Even if I was to buy in the basis of your argument, wouldn't that be one more year ?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I’m not making that argument.
I’m just stating that certain posters will move the goal posts just like they did when Barzal put up a great season.
Personally, if Domi puts up a great season this year I’d say he’s moved ahead of Nylander depending on what Nylander does this year of course.
