Confirmed with Link: Alex Nylander signed 1 yr deal $775K (Waived Dec 11th)

[arso40]

Alex William and Michael Nylander all thrives with more minutes. Did ok with 10min and 13shifts. Got the first game out of his system.

Let’s hope he gets another one

 

[TML Dynasty]

Came to see how he did. Appreciate those who commented about that.

Also glad to see this place hasn’t changed lol……”your sentence structure and punctuation aren’t up to par…..”

Lool did you expect this place to change

Rather have him in the lineup than Robertson.

McMann Tavares Marner
Knies Matthews Domi
A.Nylander Minten W.Nylander
Lorentz Kampf Dewer

I’d put Kampf between the brothers and re jig the 4th line

 

[The Shadow]

I don’t see anything as of now that adds value to a lineup. He’s just a body out there doing not much of anything

It's like choosing between a roundhouse kick to the face or a kick in the nuts. Neither player brings anything worthwhile.

Warm bodies for Pacioretty's return.

I was at the draft where he was selected (2016). The two Buffalo fans in front of me lost their marbles when Buffalo picked Nylander. They were furious. They wanted Chychrun. I actually told them not to worry because they selected a good player at 8.

 

[The Shadow]

If there ever was a chance to make a statement this is it. He’s 26. It’s put up or shut up.

 

[Leafs87]

Guy doesn’t got it

 

[Fogelhund]

It's been two games... That's far too short a sample to really make any conclusions, as far as what he can contribute to the Leafs. He's a guy, who at best we can hope for third line time on the ice, and third line offensive contributions. He's played most of his time with two prospects, who don't appear ready to contribute at the NHL level offensively yet.

What would we hope for? Mid 30 points... so a point every three games or so... and he's played two.

Now, his on ice expected goals for, is 84.9%... so the ice has been pretty slanted for us, when he's played... that's good. Zero hits though... playing for a job my guy, you aren't small... show something.

Now I'm on record saying, he really isn't a good enough player to worry about, and that I doubt he sticks.... but, he's getting a chance, and needs more than two games before we draw any conclusions on him. He'll require waivers to get sent down, so it's probably Grebenkin and Minten gets sent down, if Knies and Matthews are ready next game... unless of course McMann is out too..

Guy doesn’t got it

Agree. Get rid of him.

 

[Skullz]

He has been fine. Obviously he isn't Willy. Has dug some pucks out on the forecheck which I wasn't expecting.

Okay in a pinch, but not a full time NHL'er.

The are both bad players.

 

[Leafs87]

The are both bad players.

Agreed. Neither add anything. I’d rather replace both with a depth scorer or hard forecheckers

Give him 10 or so games. Last game was better than the 1st game

Gave Robertson how long to get injured and do nothing? I think we can give Willy's brother a dozen games.

He looked OK and then sometimes not so much. Worth keeping him in.

Yeah he needs a longer look. When we first got him the narrative was wow he could have got an NHL deal somewhere, there was surprise we got him for the Marlies.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Need some down low cycle players that can kill time if you know you know

 

[MarMarSab3]

He's an AHLer

 

[thewave]

He's an AHLer

It really is too early. I mean probably so but let's give him a chance. Not like Robertson where we invested millions to develop the jackass that wants traded every 2 mins after having our team pay to rehab his ungrateful butt.

Cause he’s Willy’s brother he’ll get 10 games but it’s defiantly not based on merit

He will not lay many hits. But he will probably have more points then Robertsson if he gets 19games and Robs icetime. Most games if the 3rd 4th line dont let goals in , its a win. So far he has been good enough. If he had -5 and generated nothing i would understand the venom, but he generates something and let in nothing in his limited minutes.

Put any of the top player on this third line with 10 min a game , you(not you^) would be amazed in how little they would seem to create. Better then A Nylander, but not near good enough for a top player.

 

[DarkKnight]

Pretty underwhelming so far. Waivers will play a role, but I'd keep a few others over him when we get healthy, at this point .

He will not make it once everyone is healthy. Too many better players unless he breaks out soon.

It looks like he is already being scratched tonight so time is running out. He needs to show more grit, to much of a finesse player.
