Value of: William Nylander

[joe dirte]

Nylander won’t change our C position. He’s no more proven than Domi. Without Matthew or Tavares, Nylander is sketchy .

Habs need time for our young C’s to develop.

I guess thats true, other than scoring more every full year of his career, hes really no more proven.

No more proven at C.

Habs need to re-sign Petry after this season. Nylander would be a luxury for the Habs. You don’t trade for a luxury when you have areas of dire need.

Habs have reconciled their C position with Danault, Suzuki, Domi and Kotkaniemi. They need to wait to see how that shakes out. They are deep on the top-6 wings. There is no need or reason to trade for Nylander.

To be fair, Nylander would be one of, if not your best winger.

He was on pace for 37 goals and 72 points. He is a very good player. He would pencil in your top 6 over a guy like Drouin or Armia any day of the week... It also isn't crazy to see him play over Gallagher.

But like you said, there is no reason to trade for him, when defence is a much bigger need. If I was running the habs, I would be swapping players for defence prospects.

On the Habs he may not clear 50 pts. He won’t have a superstar C inflating his point totals.

On the Habs he may not clear 50 pts.

He drives the play though on any line he plays with. I could see him thriving like Tatar in Montreal.

This year in terms of play driving he was one of our best, if not the best.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Druoin and Domi or Suzuki
Tatar And Gallagher

why are we trading forNylander?

That's not deep, at all. That's the definition of average.

You trade for Nylander to upgrade that "deep" top 6.

Tatar is thriving with Gallagher and Danault- which was statistically the best 5 on 5 line in the league. Why break that up?

Trading for Nylander would be terrible asset management. Why are you guys so clueless as to the Habs needs?

Why are you guys so clueless as to the Habs needs?

Rich coming from the guy who claims Montreal has a deep top 6.

They don't need good players?

 

[Junohockeyfan]

They don't need good players?

they need good players on LHD.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

they need good players on LHD.

They need good players in multiple places.

Rich coming from the guy who claims Montreal has a deep top 6.

nylander doesn’t change the makeup of our top 6. Does he make it deeper? Yes. But that doesn’t move the needle as it pushes Drouin to the 3rd line where he won’t maximize his talent.

 

[joe dirte]

They need good players in multiple places.

yeah like D. Wing. And Centre. Those ones.

There are some years they look like they could use an upgrade in goal too.

 

[ACC1224]

they need good players on LHD.

That's it? You may be over estimating your team a bit.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

They need good players in multiple places.

We have our C’s in place with Suzuki, Kota, Danault or Domi. We need Kk or Suzuki to realize their potential. We have top6 wingers. Nylander is not a need.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

nylander doesn’t change the makeup of our top 6. Does he make it deeper? Yes. But that doesn’t move the needle as it pushes Drouin to the 3rd line where he won’t maximize his talent.

He'd instantly be your best winger, of course he changes the makeup of your top 6, lol.

 

[joe dirte]

Tatar is thriving with Gallagher and Danault- which was statistically the best 5 on 5 line in the league. Why break that up?

Good god. Move on over Mackinnon and Rantanen, here comes Gallagher and Tatar.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Nylander won’t change our C position. He’s no more proven than Domi. Without Matthew or Tavares, Nylander is sketchy .

Habs need time for our young C’s to develop.

Other than being an elite producer on every other team he played for, including a WC team where he was clearly the best forward on a team with Backstrom and Forsberg on it, yes he's very sketchy.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

He'd instantly be your best winger, of course he changes the makeup of your top 6, lol.

Without Matthews or Tavares he may not be our best winger.

RD Scott Mayfield- Sweet Contract and solid Dman

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Good god. Move on over Mackinnon and Rantanen, here comes Gallagher and Tatar.

Do some research.

 

[Habs Halifax]

That's it? You may be over estimating your team a bit.

It's a measure of what we have and what is coming in the pipeline. You may be under estimating our prospect pool a bit.

 

[joe dirte]

Do some research.

I'm gonna say you might want to do the same.

What you're saying is completely nonsensical. In one breath, you're arguing how Nylander would struggle with a set of forwards like the Habs have, in the next, you're making claims that they're stacked and have so many great wingers and centres, and have the best line in the league.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Leaf fans are proving to be clueless as to Habs team needs. The cost to get Nylander is not worth the incremental improvement compared to a top4 LHD.
