    [Poll/ Discussion] Nylander vs. Ehlers; only 2 options for Canucks at #6

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted

    Well if you ask yourself why do some players with size become Lucic and others become Pyatt you really have no real answer.

    When you see Ritchie's game and acknowledge he has an older Brother competing for the Calder Cup there is clearly something there.

    The real question is why is Nylander immune to suggesstions he'll become a Jordan Schroeder but Ritchie is a Pyatt or Bernier automatically.

    The number one thing I look for in ritchie's game is foot speed and he has that, and even admitted he will be working on it even more. The hands, shot, and IQ are there in the body of a 235lb player and we want to pick Nylander.

    Doesn't make sense.

    This is such a fail reply,

    Ritchie also has penalty problems, taken too many boneheaded penalties where other teams capitalized on his poor judgement. As well wouldn't you score 40+ goals if you were 6'3" 230+ pounds pushing away kids to score goals? Btw, have you ever seen Nylander play at all? To assume that he's a perimeter player clearly shows that you haven't watched him play, let's see how you try score a goal in SHL against men. Hell let's have reverse scenarios where Ritchie goes to SHL would he do better against men or worse?

    Ritchie barely relied on his size to score goals. Its evident in his high hockey iq to find open ice.

    And his penalty and consistency issues are his only weakness and hes acknpwledged them personally.

    Ritchie has room to shed 10lbs and be even faster than he is now while being that 220 lb force.

    Nylander is a solid #5 pick along with ehlers and if ritchie wasnt avaliable this year id totally go with ehlers over dalcolle or nylandrr

    The thing is none of the big guys are even close to being as good as nylander. It would be a huge fail to pick a worse player because they are bigger. Plus no way I want to see nick fat face ritchie. Have enough lazy with kass. So nylander it is!

    Ritchie has alot more skill than nylander 40 goals in the ohl on a terrible team.

    Whatd nylander do in 22 shl games 1 goal.

    Ritchie against bylander in a 1v1 yea nylander would skate around ritchie then take a mason raymond perimeter shot.

    Nylander isnt even as good as ehlers who at least realized hed need to play in a canadian league to get recognition

    Ritchie is fast for his size, but he's not "fast or skilled," which is what Benning wants the team to be like. Ehlers and Nylander fit the bill for who Benning wants the team to be composed of.

    Nylander or ehlers dont fit the bill of big or tough to play agaisnt.

    Which is what benning has drafted for decades and what he wants thia team to play like from the west.

    Nylander makes no sense the way these playoffs went
