Honestly. Probably feels like a coin flip. Both will likely be in the mid 20-30 range so...yeah.

So. Could go either way. Voting Nylander because tie breaker goes to your home team.

Give me Konecny here. I feel like he will have a great season.

 

[Nabrules]

It’ll be close, I said nylander 29 and Konecny 26

 

[Bounces R Way]

Largely will depend on who each player plays with but give me Konecny. Goes to all the dirty areas.

Went with Konecny as he's been a little better so far with back to back 24 goal years compared to 22 and 20 for Nylander in his first two years before last year's debacle, and in general Nylander will likely assume more of a puck distributor role. Should be close though. Both around mid-20s

 

[Holymakinaw]

Nylander, with 21.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

the bet would probably be settled at the end of the season no?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Koneckny, great 2 way player, Nylander wouldn’t break an egg if he carried one.
Watched a lot of Travis

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Yeah. I think this is the biggest factor that could easily flip results either way. Pretty much impossible to say who Konecny is going to be playing with next year with a lot of moving parts and a brand new coach in Philly. If he ends up with Coots and Giroux, i think he outscores Nylander. If he ends up further down the lineup though, probably doesn't. Have to figure Nylander is probably going to produce better when he can ease in through training camp and hit the ground running at the same speed as everyone else rather than parachuting in late. Also figure he'll spend most of his time with Matthews, which means big minutes with a good player...but with Matthews as more of a goal-scorer, could result in a lot more assists than goals.

I'll roll the dice on Konecny scoring more goals, but it's a real crapshoot trying to predict that right now imo.
