5. Max Domi, C/W, Arizona Coyotes (previous ranking: 27)
Current team: London Knights (OHL) | 2014-15 stats: 27 GP 17 G 41 A
DOB: 3-2-95 | Draft: No. 12, 2013

He's his father's son without the puck, but when he does have it, he's as fun a prospect to watch as there is out there. Domi's creativity and offensive IQ are through the roof, he makes plays you don't see many players even think of trying, and he does it at a high speed in difficult situations. He's got some grit to him, too, and has significantly improved his defensive play.

Domi shouldn't be anywhere near the top 5, it's become obvious post-WJC that Marner has been boosting him heavily. For someone with so much supposed hockey IQ he sure makes a lot of terrible decisions with the puck. Would be surprised if he ends up more than a very good 2nd liner.
 
Really like Nylander so much the guy is fantastic! Its pretty much guaranteed he will either be a 1st line winger or 1st line center. Add in the fact that we have Rielly who will be a top 2 D, and we will get a Strome/Marner/Hanifin, we can add another #1C, #1winger or #1D to the stock pile!!
 
Man, why has this turned into such a immature pissing contest? Why do people feel the need to bring down other prospects to make themselves feel better about theirs (and vice versa)? Just be happy Nylander is looking like he will develop into a solid player. Same goes for Virtanen, Ritchie, Ehlers and whoever else was mentioned in this thread. I am a fan of all of them. But the fact remains that Virtanen fit what the Canucks were looking for with their draft selection, Nylander with the Leafs, Ritchie with the Ducks, etc. Let them all develop into the players that they will be. Afterall, its nice that players do X while in juniors/AHL, but it's what they do in the NHL that really only matters. So just sit back and enjoy Nylander's obvious talents as he gets better and better in the AHL.

If this was in the a Leafs forum then I would agree but its on the main board no?

Why would you disagree? What they say basically has nothing to do with Nylander and everything to do with Leaf fans, which iirc is not the topic of this thread. I don't care if people complain about us, tbh, I kinda like it. But there is a time and place for that type of **** and it is certainly not in the prospects thread about a player who isn't even on the big club yet.

Failed to register a point tonight. Still doing well. [Ritchie is also tearing it up. All-in-all, we all happy]

He had about 4 chances yesterday, two of them where he missed the net. There are actually times when I've seen him battling for a puck as well. Not often, but a few times. If he gets that quality into his game he'll definitely be a force.

Marlies need one or two points in their next 3 games to clinch a playoff spot. Would be nice to see him in that type of situation.

But on the main boards it’s all fruit of the poison tree. Prospects gets discussed, comps get introduced, debate ensures, name calling happens within and between fan bases? Not saying its right but it appears to be the exact time and place it tends to happen the most?

lather-rinse-repeat.
 
Hey guys, any chance we turn this discussion back to how Nylander is playing/developing? It seems that every time I come to this thread to read about Nylander all I am getting of late is a major pissing contest.:help:
 
Nylander has looked very comfortable after 2-4 games of adjusting. High end skill and speed. Excellent vision and his wrist shot is lethal.
