William Nylander vs Bo Horvat

[Josepho]

Nylander for sure.

 

[nowhereman]

Horvat would play on the 4th line, if he were a Leaf today.

Kadri is a better version of him. Nylander is a WAY better version of him.

Meh. It's true.

There is ZERO chance he's start ahead of Matthews, Tavares or Kadri.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Running the score is a pretty damn effective way of winning games.

Big if true.

He wouldn't be behind Kadri. Not anymore, anyway.

And Nylander is most certainly not a "WAY better version" of Horvat. They're not even close to being the same type of player and you'd never see Bo Horvat pulling the double flamingo.

Kadri is a washed up old man version of Bo.

LOL. Kadri is a back-to-back 32 goal, 61 & 55 point Centre. Horvat hasn't come close to that yet.

Yea at the age of 26 and 27. Horvat will do that this year at the age of 23.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Let's see if he can actually do that first okay? Instead of wishing/hoping/praying for it.

We shall see how many goals Kadri gets this year.

How? Let's see your boy Horvat crack 60 points first. Bill Nylander is a ppg first liner starting next year. Bo is a solid #2 center (or bottom tier #1 if you will). Things he has on Nylander: position, defense. The thing is Nylander at his best will be two or three tiers better than him in scoring. He's a possession beast. Extremely talented. He sits out 10 games and you forget all this? Easily Nylander now and Nylander in the future.

"Let's see Horvat score 60 first"

"But Nylander is already a ppg scorer next year".



Ahhahahahahahahahha

What on Earth are you talking about? Two to three tiers? Give me a damn break, the guy is spoon-fed sheltered offensive minutes on Matthews' flank. Horvat plays with far inferior line mates and put up a 56 point pace last year, that's only a whopping 5 points fewer than nylanders career high. While nylander's tricks end there horvat actually does other things too rather than just score points. He's just overall a much more useful player than nylander and is no slouch offensively, anyone with half a brain takes horvat at this point and I'm sure most gms in the league would agree as well.

Post of the day!

 

[tony d]

Nylander for me.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Not a fair poll.
One guy plays with a generational perennial Selke level center while the other guy plays with Tim Schaller, Baertschi etc as his wingers.

It would benefit you to just put holymakinaw in the ignore list like most of us have

not to mention gets saddled with faceoffs and d zone starts vs the other teams best. Id take Bo in a 7 game playoff series every day of the week, he wont flamingo or crumple when the going gets tough.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Meh. It's true.

There is ZERO chance he's start ahead of Matthews, Tavares or Kadri.

He is definitely better than Kadri; if anything he'd be on the wing of either JT or Matthews

 

[Regal]

If Horvat actually had the defense and physicality people attribute to him, then I might take him, but as of now, Willy is the better player. I do think Horvat's willingness to go to the net, while Nylander is a little too on the perimeter at times makes it closer than the stats show though

 

[CP4]

Accidently picked Nylander, but this is Horvat for me.

 

[Regal]

Meh. It's true.

Nylander hasn't played ahead of Kadri anyway, so how is this an argument?

 

[Breakers]

Meh. It's true.

There is ZERO chance he's start ahead of Matthews, Tavares or Kadri.

Horvat is better than Kadri dude.
Accept it.
Horvat was better last year in
CF% 5v5
GF% 5v5
Better HDCF% 5v5
Better HDGF% 5v5
He kills penalties and Kadri doesnt
Better P/60 5v5
Better A/60 5v5
Better GAP (goals above replacement)
Better CF% rel 5v5
And he dominates him in Primary Points.

 

[Pay Carl]

Horvat is a more rare talent IMO

He is the modern version of a power forward

 

[Connor McConnor]

[mod] Voted Nylander because he's a 1st line player whereas Horvat is ideally a 2nd line player.

Horvat doesn't have the one thing that holymakiner determines whose better. The leaf crest in the middle of the jersey.
