I would go with Aho. Nylander is very talented, but I am not sure he has the grit you need to win in the playoffs. Aho does everything well, he is one of the biggest talents in the game that plays in a small market that people know about, but perhaps not as many should know about. Aho here.

 

[MNRube]

Aho. Nylander is way too soft

 

[Garthinater]

Ill go with aho. Wonder if he can get ~75 points next year?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Probably take Aho here. Nylander has benefited playing with Matthews most of his career.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Aho for sure, I love Willy but it’s definitely Seabass here

 

[BB88]

Aho is more versatile player.

 

[boredmale]

2 top flight swedes, I go with defense though

 

[Randy Randerson]

I don't know if either is a "build around" type player, don't think that either will be the best player on a contender level team in their careers but both should be nice core complimentary players

I'll go Nylander but they're very close. Aho had 40 seconds more pp time per game, a little more ES time per game and a shooting % that was above his career average (not out of range of what could be sustainable, will have to see where he levels out to as a norm), Nylander had better linemates (though I think it gets forgotten than he and Matthews drag Hyman around, the linemate situation is only half good) and an OIsh% that was probably higher than what you'd expect to continue. I think that this will look like Nylander in the near future because of the context he'll be playing in with a high powered offense that will stretch matchups thin with it's depth, so I think the production spikes

Aho for pick value for sure, he's a home run for the Canes

I see what you did there

 

[Critical13]

I will take William, better ppg for two very similar players.

They are 2 very different type players.

Aho is a 2way player who was the best scorer for low scoring team at 20y already.

 

[kp61c]

aho is overhyped. nylander

 

[ookhaab]

Aho by far, the highest scorer on one of the lower scoring teams. Plays with worse linemates AND against harder competition, also way better defensively, younger and better goalscorer.

Aho had (a lot) more PP time, less ppg, vastly more offensive zone starts, and yet across the board, they are pretty similar.

Just admit that you have no idea the type of player Aho is.

Prime Aho can be the guy on your #1pp& #1pk units, and the guy the play runs through.
He makes his linemates better.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I'd probably take Aho over Marner also.

We will see.

 

[BB88]

We will see.

He was already Carolinas best player at 20y and the best player on his line.

I would never try to build around Nylander.

Im biased but I would too, tho it would be closer comparison than nylander.

Thank you for your input.

 

[Narow]

Aho.

I see willy same as ehlers. And have aho a notch above both. Just more complete and has way less help.

 

[Menzinger]

I would never try to build around Nylander.

And Aho has a track record of being able to lead a team?

Seems a silly statement considering they’ve had near identical career trajectories so far

 

[PKWeber]

Aho is better than Marner, why is this a poll?
