Can Nylander crack 90 pts this season?

[Tufted Titmouse]

He's back on track with his career totals, but maybe he will get a Matthews bump.

Yes, Willy is so underrated.

 

[darrylsittler27]

Nylander can do it if he wants to and he is on the right team to do so. Probably 87 pts going into gm 82, scores a hatty.

I'd be happy if he breaks above 75. 82 would be astounding

nylander has been excellent this season. one of the few bright spots.

After 18 games, he has 18 points. Still on pace for 82!

He's been at that pace since the playoffs in 2020-21. 113 points in his last 113 games (includes 14 playoff games)

 

[Menzinger]

On pace for 38.8 goals.

Willy has arguably been the best Leaf this season. Captain JT has also had a solid start.

Those two have been our best players this season AINEC.

 

[Judas Tavares]

I get it. We haven't won in the playoffs. And Willy still has his frustrating moments. But he's been absolutely solid for over 2 seasons now. Anyone still pouting about him made up their mind during the contract dispute or worship the Kypreos types in the media like weirdos worship Musk, and won't dare go back or change.

 

[PromisedLand]

this may not be popular opinion but I think this season Teams crap their pants when Willy has the puck because he is so dynamic.

I think Willy has taken over the mantle of most dangerous player with the puck for the Leafs from Marner this season

And of course in the playoffs if it wasn't for Willy Leafs would get steamrolled against habs/bolts IMO

Willy does not get enough credit, he way stronger than Marner and can control the play just as good, if not better.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

If you have any doubts just watch da Devils game over again .. Willy was best player on ice outside of Murray .. certainly da only guy we had who could control da game .. why because he can skate with/faster than da devils .. rest of our top 4 can't keep up to da game pace with Devils

What?

 

[ZEBROA]

When the season is over he will probably have near around 70p and Marner and Matthews 90-100p. I hope im wrong and that he also will be around 90-100p. But most important keep being his best in the playoffs.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Playing the best hockey of his career so far. Playing much more assertive and using his size to gain leverage and bump other players off the puck.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

I think 90 is definitely a realistic options. On pace for 86 after 20 games. Funny thing with Nylander is that while he's definitely turned into one of the better goal scorers in the league, I still see him more as a playmaker than a pure sniper. Him and JT have looked good but can still improve their 5v5 game. The fact that he's playing with Kerfoot who may very well score less than 10 goals this year means his playmaking abilities will go to waste though.

All in all I think 75-85 is a a likely range for Willy.

Edit: it's nice to see Keefe is so willing to let the world know about Nylanders "flaws" but say anything bad about anyone else in the core and Keefe is back on the podium the next day walking back all his comments

 

[Skullz]

Incredibly important player for us. One of the most effortless at O-zone entries I have ever seen.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Why not ….

[notDatsyuk]

What?

You're right. It should be "can control the play just as well".

 

[meefer]

A development in his game that I've noticed, too. I hope he continues to improve in this area, it will only help him moving forward.

 

[Notsince67]

Amazing he hasn't had all star votes. Should be a no brainer that he at least get within the top 5 or 6 rw

 

[pcruz]

I'll be shocked if Nylander doesn't break 100 once in his career.

He has all the tools.

He needs the fire and more smarts.
