Definitely playing so much better under Nelson. He would still be in the AHL, if Eakins was the coach. Good riddance Eakins is gone.
Well to be fair Lander did not play very well prior to Eakins either.
He had 7 points in 67 NHL games prior to last season.
I suspect that his slow development had more to do with being rushed into the NHL.
Thats what the Oilers do with virtually every prospect...its a large part of why they have been so poor at developing players. I think that approach probably hurt Paajarvi's development to the point of no return which is why I am impressed with what Lander is doing so far.
