Zibanejad is the best swedish forward in the league

[Iggys Dome]

It’s Elias Lindholm.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

So much bias without any data to at least back up the argument.

Last 4 years as a sample size Mika has the most Goals and Points and best PPG. But the point that "not even close" is far from the truth. You can easily argue others are better defensively and Landeskog at 216 points in 217 games is barely behind Mika's 248 points in 242 games.

Perhaps Mika has the most complete package? He definitely has the best shot of all the Swedes and when he is at his A game his anticipation, size, speed and hands are difficult to contain.

Jesper Bratt

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Zibby easily

 

[tiburon12]

Are you saying that the Rangers PP is so much better than...the Avalanche's?

Nope. That's not what I said at all. I said Mika gets a higher percentage of his points (almost half) on the PP. Landeskog scores higher at evens.

Good try though

Best shot ... isn't that Forsberg, Forsberg seams a bit big and slow sometimes, so speed acceleration probably to Mika but shot is Forsberg, probably the best goal scorer . Landeskog also have a say very good at everything.

I haven't given up on EP though and Willie have all the tools but will be tucked behind Marner no matter what and that will hinder his development.

 

[Silkytentacles]

Pettersson is better when he’s on his game and I’d say Forsberg might be better as well

 

[Phil McKraken]

Is the better than Zibanejad though? Not really.

Why do you think so?

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

“Nobody” got “Moves” like DJ Zbad! He “Can’t go back home” now, he’s gonna last “forever”.

 

[AvsGuy]

I'd probably agree that Zibanejad is the best Swedish forward, but Gabe Landeskog pacing for like 95 points this year sure is flying under a lot of radars

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I'd put Landeskog, Zibanejad, Bäckström and Forsberg on the same tier. All first line forwards easily.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Are you saying that the Rangers PP is so much better than...the Avalanche's?

Its been pretty pedestrian, but neither one are #1

 

[RedHawkDown]

Gotta be Forsberg

 

[Subbanned]

I think Nylander has the most pure skill of any current Swedish player. Really like Landeskog's overall package. Then again Nylander was the Leafs best player against us last playoffs and it wasn't that close. Zbad is right there too

Last 5 years:

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Senators dumping zibanejad and a 2nd for brassard. What a way to sewer the team.

 

[Rubi]

Landeskog is leading the Swedish wolf pack this season in pts/gp

Forsberg is 2nd and Zibanejad is 3rd.

I actually agree that Zib is the best Swedish forward at the moment.

Landeskog having a hell of a season I just think Zib is the line driver wherever he's playing. Kog getting some Rantanen help.

 

[SwedishFire]

As a swede, I cant belive people here takes Landeskog over Zibanejad. Zibanejad just is a better player.

Landeskog is a nice complimentary piece, but Zibby is just a straw better

 

[egelband]

Still not sure why the Rangers let him get away

Pretty sure he wanted to leave, or at least preferred Carolina. Don’t think it’s any more than that.

 

[Webster]

I remember when Zibanejad struggled, didn't have much success with the Senators and was traded to the Rangers. There he clicked with Zuccarello and they played great together. Good to see Zibanejad playing so well.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Pettersson is better when he’s on his game and I’d say Forsberg might be better as well

When Zib is “on his game” he’s better too

 

[QJL]

When Zib is “on his game” he’s better too

He is on his game right now.

13-15-28 in his last 19 games. Only kept off the scoresheet 3 times. He’s on fire.

 

[Islay1989]

Landeskog is a nice complimentary piece, but Zibby is just a straw better

at Landeskog being a complimentary player

 

[rangersfansince08]

at Landeskog being a complimentary player

Right. Obviously he is the main driver on his line. Miko and Mac just along for the ride.
