Nylander Discussion

[stickty111]

Willy is one of only a few players who is playing with a consistent effort.

Willy is one of only a few players who is playing with a consistent effort.

Only after he embarrasses himself and his team like that.

All money, no heart.

Actually I still like Nylander, but he is who he is.

Soft and disinterested 60% of the time.

Then that 40% of the time against weak competition, he looks good!

 

[Menzinger]

Ill expect crickets in here during the wake of him playing well.

 

[robertmac43]

He has been good all year! Happy to see him rewarded with 2 points tonight!

 

[A1LeafNation]

Steal

 

[robertmac43]

That move capped off a great game for Willie

 

[LeafingTheWay]

you knew when he got hit on the first shift it was going to be a off night for WN.

Lol.

It's always like that. Nitpicked to death like no other on this team.

I think the Nylander you are refering too plays in Chicago..

Maybe Chicago would like Nylander X2.

Need everyone producing, so nice to see Nylander and Matthews starting to get it together after missing out last year.

 

[Albi34]

Love the way he's played this year. One or two games he struggled but other than that hes been a top 3 forward pretty much every night

 

[hector morrison]

Maybe Chicago would like Nylander X2.

For who?

 

[ULF_55]

For who?

I don't see a fit, unless it's something like Kane for marner?

 

[DavePoulin4PM]

Nylander has to beat up the bottom feeders. After next game we play 4 tough games.. so he will be a ghost. He still played like complete and utter garbage tonight. A gift goal from Matthews that anyone could’ve scored doesn’t change that. I hope he keeps padding those stats, so Dubas can trade him to some other terrible GM.

He will not stop getting ripped on by fans, until he stops playing scared and bailing on plays. There were several more examples of this tonight. He needs to be held accountable.

 

[DavePoulin4PM]

Maybe Philly is so impressed by Willys “great” performance tonight, that they would give up Konecny for Nylander ++

If he’s playing well there shouldn’t be a problem hence the crickets.
Do the little things you need to do every night in addition to only trying offense when it’s convenient and there won’t be a problem.
Same goes for the other 3.

 

[TopCheese]

that whole line has been great lately and its nice to see them get rewarded with some goals and points

Though this thread doesnt exist solely to criticize the player

Easily been the top line the past few games.

Probably not unexpected though.

Sometimes just plays a touch above comprehension of dinosaurs.

I’d agree. We just want him to add an element to his game please.

Yeah, Johnsson has really been flying the past 2 games. He’s hungry.

Yes, if he could get a little hate into his game he'd be dramatically underpaid.

 

[leafsfuture]

From the half of the game I saw - that was an engaged Willy. He wanted to be around the puck. Even today he is no Zach Hyman, but for a skill guy if he gave this effort every game he would be a PPG guy easy.

Just so talented

Yeah...No,willy isn't goin' anywhere soon! Unless it was an offer you can't refuse.

He finally pulled ahead of Ilya Mikheyev by 2 points after tonight.

That would be amazing.

He plays a different game in the O zone but that’s his style and I wouldn’t chance that. The only thing I think he could do a bit more there is stand in the front of the net and go for some tips. He doesn’t seem to get many sticks on pucks there.

As for the D zone, I think that’s where we want to see the improvement. The ‘killer’ instinct needs to show there with more sticks in lanes, and taking hits to make plays, and just general disruptiveness.
