Nylander OR Ehlers

[IPS]

Ehlers is not in Nylander's tier

 

[I am Canadian]

Ehlers is not in Nylander's tier

Yes he is don't be a silly willy.

 

[Atoyot]

I'd like to re-visit this when Maurice is gone and Ehlers actually plays on the powerplay.

 

[tony d]

Nylander.

 

[Blueboy]

Kinda close but Nylander has better linemates.

Yeah, Toronto does have significantly better forwards than Winnipeg.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I prefer Ehlers because he is much better defensively, but also plays offensively very well. But he has a much harder shot that Nylander's.

Nylander has a style that's entirely based on offence, but I say his offensive game is better than Ehlers and is more dynamic. Nylander is a much better playmaker though.

lmao, what a trip

all that effort telling Leafs fans "but TOI and PP time doesn't matter" in all the other polls and now I'm reading that it's not a fair comparison because the other player isn't getting enough PP time. Classic.

 

[snowkiddin]

Ehlers is much more dynamic

I know right! Crazy seeing certain leafs fans now act like a difference in usage and power play time doesn’t matter when in other threads involving their player it did. Glad we both see the same thing

This guy never has anything reasonable to say that involves a non-Leafs player vs a Leafs player without exaggerating the difference between them in favour of the Leaf.

The stats alone say it's Nylander.

Nylander: 21 Goals, 21 Assists for 42 points in 48 games played.

Ehlers: 18 Goals, 19 Assists for 37 points in 47 games played.

More to hockey than just looking at stats especially with these two players as neither brings much of anything outside of scoring and both are not playoff players. So for one poll its actually the best way to evaluate who to vote for a very unique poll actually. I cant believe it but i actually voted Nylander because he distributes the puck and uses his teammates better.

 

[AvroArrow]

Nylander gets 1st unit pp time whereas Ehlers PP time is limited. Give me Ehlers at ES over Nylander. Nylander is likely better on the PP.

Nylander has had 1st unit PP time for like a month. In his entire career.

 

[Prarievarg]

Close, leaning towards Nylander

 

[SotasicA]

I'll take Nikolaj Coster-Waldau-Ehlers over Joffrey Nylander-Baratheon.

 

[ruaware41]

It’s Ehlers, The leaves play purely offensive and their players get handed easy points.

Easy peasy. I'm sure you could lace em up beside Matty and hit hattys erry day

 

[OKR]

Nylander imo, but it’s close

Nylander’s strengths just get more out of teammates than Ehlers.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

give me Nylander this year but its essentially TCTC as it has been pretty every year so far for these 2 players

 

[BlueBaron]

Normally I would vote them the same but this seems to be a breakout year for Willy. If Ehlers does not take a similar step forward soon he might get left behind. Conversely this could be a fluke year for Willy and next year they will be the same again. So IMO in general it's still basically a tie but Willy is having a better year.

Since Nylander has already matched his career high with 22 goals, I don't think this season is a fluke for him. When he previously got 22 goals in 2017 that was in 81 games played and he's at that number with 49 games played.

Well I think he's breaking out to but I would rather wait and see before making bold proclamations.

I thought we finally deaded these Winnipeg/Toronto debates with Trouba moving on.

Flip a coin. It is not deceicive one way or the other.

I thought these debates were dead when Matthews won the Calder Trophy with Laine coming 2nd in the voting.

 

[Deebs]

In terms of being an all around player giving your team the best opportunity at winning...I vote Ehlers

 

[nofehr]

I'm a huge Nylander fan (most games :/ ) but I think it's too close to call, as seems to have been the case their whole careers. Ehlers seems to have ramped up his intensity quite a bit this year (maybe someone who has watch more Jets games can confirm or deny?) and that style of play seems to suit him well. Would like to see some of that from Ny as well.
