Nice. I was surprised to see him on the wire to be honest.

 

[Dreakon13]

Rochester bound?

Rochester bound?

Nope, has to be an NHLer or else Dallas can take him back

So this is who got Nylanders spot?

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Sheary-Berglund-Thompson
Sobotka-Mittelstadt-Okposo
Girgensons-ERod-Pominville
x Larsson,Wilson

Unless we have more waiving to do... I wonder how Elie fits in.

Even if Larsson and Wilson are out long term, he's a 13th forward at best.

Bye bye Thompson?

 

[Der Jaeger]

I don't understand. He's from Canada, not the US or Sweden.

Is there a glitch in the matrix?

 

[Aladyyn]

meh, he's no Jaskin

 

[Sabreality]

meh, he's no Jaskin

yeah, he can actually skate

 

[Tapu Coco]

Is he really an upgrade over Baptiste/Bailey at this point? Don't know much about him.

You're are asking the wrong questions, is he really an upgrade over Smith, Nylander, Oloffson?

Believe me, Nylander was the first to come to mind, but I guess I'll just have to let that ship sail for now.

 

[Moskau]

He's basically a worse Zemgus Girgensons. Or a faster version of Jacob Josefson. An offensive black hole for both teams.

 

[Royal Thunder]

I wonder how much Wilson's injury played into this if at all.

[Snippit]

He's basically a worse Zemgus Girgensons. Or a faster version of Jacob Josefson. An offensive black hole for both teams.

He put up the same numbers as Girgs, and Girgs got a good chunk of his points from Eichel.

He's most likely better.

 

[Royal Thunder]

I like this. I'm feeling like the upside here is a better version of William Carrier, who was a board darling.

 

[EichHart]

Won’t Nylander be first up with the inevitable first injury during the first week of the season?

It will depend on who gets hurt.

If it's a top 6 or 9 winger, sure.

It will depend on who gets hurt.

If it's a top 6 or 9 winger, sure.

Also depends how he plays. If he sulks or plays poorly he won’t get the call.

meh, he's no Jaskin
