All Nylander does is produce offense at an elite pace! /s be prepared to be endlessly told how useless Nylander will be in the playoffs my friend. Happens everytime Nylander gets brought up as if people on CDC can predict that an elite hockey player won't produce in the playoffs somehow.

He doesn't think the game in the same way other picks around him do. Ehlers, Draisaitl, Reinhart, Nylander all have elite hockey IQ and can drive offense. Plays die on Virtanen's stick quite frequently, and I can't remember how many times he skates in and aimlessly shot it at the goalie's crest. Or in the World Juniors with Canada on the powerplay, he takes a stupid penalty to negate the man advantage. Or his poor use of his team mates in general. It's the primary thing holding him back and has been a problem his whole career, a major reason guys like Button had him ranked in the 2nd round. Speaking of Nylander, he just won MVP of the world championship. Gonna regret that pick for the next 10 years atleast. shame. Put 30 pounds of potatoes on anyone's back. Then have them run up five flights of stairs, and immediately solve math problems. Even the most talented mathematicians will have troubles. Jake was a fatty. He will be fine now. No team with William Nylander will ever win a Stanley Cup. Don't be too shocked if the Leafs trade your boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuck1991 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 leave the kid alone, let him catch a break, stop judging his skills and hockey IQ. He is only 20. Stop looking at the past (nylander and ehlers). I think Travis can push him to limits. Jake has hit rock bottom and is only going to get better from here. It takes time to learn to play in NHL. Not everyone can come out of juniors and start putting up points. He is the one who is most disappointed about his season and he knows that he's got to be better. He doesnot need to be reminded by million of fans how he played. Stop judging the kid based on instagram posts. End of the day hockey is just a game and part of life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somehow the opportunity arose today to trade Virtanen straight across for Nylander would you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day hockey is just a game and part of life I disagree with the bolded portions. We are here to judge him on his skills and hockey IQ, that's the entire point of this thread. I also don't think Jake comes to this thread to see what is posted about him, so we don't have to sugar coat his performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when you bring up FACTS people don't like it. Oh well. I am enjoying watching Nylander flourish as a player and he is well on his way to becoming one of the best in the league. Ehlers, Ritchie, Nylander selected and we took none of them. That draft has already come back to haunt us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a lot of Utica this season and your statement that "Plays died on his stick quite frequently" isn't what I saw. I the last month when he started to put things together his rushes were creating offence. He was snake bit this year points wise but to make that statement seems a bit much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehlers, Ritchie, Nylander selected and we took none of them. That draft has already come back to haunt us. It haunts you actually, most of the rest of us have better things to do than watch children play hockey and debate who will be the better player once they become men. One thing I have noticed about people like you is that you never ever seem to mention players like Dal Colle or Bennett or even to a lesser extent Reinhardt. Reinhardt who was supposed to go 1st overall not even .5 PPG in the NHL Bennett who was the 2nd coming not even .4 PPG in the NHL who was slated top 3 Dal Colle who wouldn't even meet Desi Boys vaunted AHL standards. Hell what about Carolina? Who took Hayden Fleury Yes, the Canucks screwed up badly, SO badly by going with what was for all intents and purposes exactly what we will be going through this year at the draft. A guess who's who of picks 3-10 where in 2014 it was picks 5-12. NO mention of how Carolina, New York or Calgary screwed up their picks who (Barring Carolina) were all picking before us. I mean damn...Captain Hindsight, where's the love? Or...is it that you are not in fact a hockey fan and incapable of seeing these facts and instead want to sit on a soapbox and whinge about this team, this team's picks and prospects because it suits you to complain about things out of your power. Get back to me once you've watched your team skip Jagr or draft JJ Daignault k. Because obviously you're not old enough to understand what those names mean in this context. Once you do; THEN you can whine about it. But since you refuse to accept that we're not the only team that apparently s**t the bed not picking Willy Nylander or Ehlers or Ritchie (Note how you don't even jump on Ottawa for trading that pick AND silfverberg to Anaheim for Ryan) and since you also refuse to move on. I will simply point out that you're doing nothing more than whining. There is no contribution to this conversation simply whining. I am not even going to try to defend the pick, because it doesn't look good. But that isn't the point. The point is you're whining, and I am here to remind people of that Your daily reminder in fact, that you are a whiner. Good day. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you could tell us which NHL team or even major junior team you are employed with, we will actually take your unqualified boasts seriously. Till then you are just a pleb like the rest of us giving your opinion on a player from the seat of your couch. Also I did find it funny that the demonstration of your superior hockey mind included the statement that McDavid could get injured and "crash and burn". Wow such a hot take, none of us had even considered the possibility that a player could get hurt playing one of the most physical sports in the world. Take what you want from who you want, I don't care. I remain amazed at how easily young talent is written off by this team's fanbase. Not sure if a sign of extreme insecurity or a fanboi mentality from too much Playstation. These are young men, human beings, and they all progress differently. To call any one of them a "bust" when just barely legal to vote/drink in your country is beyond nuts. My opinion. How you base yours if up to you. As you and others seem incapable of letting a non-bust opinion stand, I wonder aloud as to your motive. Why is it so important to you to beat up on your young prospects? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it so important to you to beat up on your young prospects? I have never called him a bust but good try. You took issue with someone calling him a disappointment and tried to frame it as a ridiculous opinion. It isn't, there are a lot of people that expected Jake to be a better player today than he is right now including me. In that sense his progression has been disappointing. That doesn't mean he will never amount to anything. The poster you took issue with never labeled him a bust either so this is a strawman. If you want to talk about insecurity, the surest sign of insecurity is when someone tries to tell others that their opinions are worth more or that they are experts who simply know more than anyone else. In my experience real experts let their opinions speak for themselves. I am not sure what "fanboi mentality from too much Playstation" means. The word "fanboy" represents individuals who cannot be objective about their fandom. Recognizing that a player has flaws to their game is the opposite of being a fanboy. My motive in coming to this forum is the same as it has always been, to have an honest discussion. If that offends you, then by all means feel free to put me on ignore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
