William Nylander, by far. One short mediocre season playing with Marleau and Brown make people forget two fantastic previous ones. He was good since January regardless and scored 18 points and was a +16 in 8 games at the worlds. Nylander will score 80 points next season playing with proper players.

He is a better skater and his vision is a million times better than Ehlers.

 

[Team Cozens]

Ehlers by far. Engaged fast player who knows where both ends of the rink are.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

Ehlers AINEC

 

[tacogeoff]

Ehlers by leaps and bounds

 

[POVERTY]

Nylander is better at hockey

 

[Isaac Nootin]

William Nylander, just look at what he did at the World Cup to get a glimpse of his potential.

He'll be 70+ this year with a full training camp, pre season and Matthews as his full time center.

 

[CraigsList]

Ehlers for me. It's super close but there wasn't that option.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

It's always been close, I like Ehlers speed, explosiveness, and compete level better. Nylander is too happy playing on the perimeter.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Very close right now, I think Willy has the higher ceiling, I guess time will tell, but he’s got my vote

**I hate that I’m a leafs fan commenting just because of how biased it makes me sound...

 

[jetsforever]

Ah, this old poll again
The people saying Nylander will be better playing with Matthews seem to have forgotten how great Ehlers was when he used to play with Scheifele

 

[WilliamNylander]

This will be a lopsided poll. Nylander is so much better than Ehlers now.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Ehlers by far. Engaged fast player who knows where both ends of the rink are.

Nylander is better at that end too.

 

[Lays]

This will be a lopsided poll. Nylander is so much better than Ehlers now.

Both statements are false

 

[Dion TheFluff]

it close AINEC

 

[tony d]

Nylander.

 

[Saitama]

So basically this is a poll to see how many fans each of these teams has. I'm guessing Nylander will win, despite Ehlers being better.

 

[LuckyBoeser]

Lol @ the people saying it AINEC. It super close but give me Ehlers.

 

[McVespa99]

So basically Leafs fans all taking Nylander and everyone else taking Ehlers. I think Ehlers is better overall but Nylander has more talent. Nylander plays on the perimeter too much though. To me he is a rich mans Eberle.

 

[IPS]

So basically this is a poll to see how many fans each of these teams has. I'm guessing Nylander will win, despite Ehlers being better.

Nylander is winning because he's the superior player.

 

[Saitama]

Nylander is winning because he's the superior player.

My goodness, I certainly wouldn't expect you of all people to be biased towards Nylander! What is this world coming to? Shocked I tell ya!

 

[Aries56]

2016-2019. Way closer than I expected!

Going with Ehlers. He's also got the better contract.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Ehlers

Did you guys see what Nylander did at the Worlds? How is he in any way a "Perimeter Player", why don't you watch his highlights? He was crashing the net multiple times .... He had a bad 40 games and now he is dubbed a bust ---- CLASSIC HF BOARDS!!! Haaa. Now there will be supposed hockey insiders replying to threads saying that "I propose to thee, thou Nylander is not even worth a lottery pick"

Nylander > Ehlers. Honestly, a lot of people on HF are going to look stupid (as usual) when this guy scores 80+ points Bookmark this thread (lol)
Before last season, Mitch Marner was supposed to be a career medicore 60-70 point player. There were multiple threads where people were calling Leaf fans "dumb and idiotic" for believing that Marner could notch ~100 points. Why so jealous?


I never understood why HF hates the Leafs ....
They said the Leafs COULD NOT trade the contracts of (1) Nikita Zaitsev (2) Patrick Marleau --- yet, somehow, the Leafs managed to trade them.

 

[OB34KNH]

Oh and last season there were multiple threads on which Jets fans tried to say that all the Leaf Fans are homers for thinking that Marner is better than Kyle Connor.


Also, I know that this stat doesn't mean much BUT -----

Last Playoffs

EHLERS: 6 GAMES, 0 GOALS, 0 ASSISTS, ZERO POINTS
Nylander: 7 GAMES. 1 GOAL, 2 ASSISTS, 3 POINTS -------- Played (majority of TOI) on the 3rd Line with PATRICK MARLEAU + CONNOR BROWN.

PLAYOFF CAREER TOTALS

Nylander: 20 GAMES, 3 GOALS, 8 ASSISTS, 11 POINTS
Ehlers: 21 GAMES, ZERO GOALS, 7 ASSISTS, 7 POINTS


Yes Jets Fans, I was CORRECT LAST SEASON when I said Marner > Laine, Connor and I'm correct again. (Most of HFBOARDS exploded when I made that statement)
