Rumor: W Nylander to NYR

[Don Chytil]

It's 2018, it doesn't matter that he's 6'3 and built like a truck. At the end of the day he's a 50 point player which is obviously good, but hardly a rarity.

He doesn't magically have a bunch of intangibles because he's 2 inches taller than the average player.

Strength > Size

Excuse me sir, but do you know how much strength it takes to jump out of a pool?

I know he's strong, I'm saying players should be judged on that as opposed to height.

Chara is 6'9, but he's probably the strongest guy in the league.

 

[Tavares to Marner]

Height increases the amount of strength someone can hold

I've never heard Nylander described as a truck before.

His skating, though. Last year New Year's Day, I was mesmerized by his skating in warm ups, not the speed, but the grace. Could be a figure skater.

Sometimes he goes into the corners like one, too.

lol Shattenkirk has like 4 bad games and he has negative value.

Just pay attention to scouts at games. It's always important.

Who needs scouts nowadays?

Give @Machinehead a computer and he’ll build you a build you a Cup Team in no time.

I don't know about a Cup team but I'll take the Rangers in a series or at the draft for that matter.

Come at me, Jeff.
