Drouin vs Nylander vs Ehlers

[jetsforever]

Ehlers and Nylander are both great players, and similar enough that we don't need to keep doing these polls.

I don't think their playing styles are very similar but they are neck and neck when it comes to skill and impact and yup this topic has been exhausted

Had a good night, 4 pt night moves Ehler's 1 pt behind McDavid for the league lead in scoring.

...and Marner.

And Horvat

 

[Halla]

Well this reeks of recency bias based on ehlers start lol
Nylander by a hair although Ehlers is a very close 2nd. Drouin shouldnt be in the poll.

Pnumbers since last year including playoffs

Nylander: 35g/70pts in 81 games vs Ehlers 32g/71pts in 82 games

it would be fair to call this a draw

 

[Halla]

And Horvat

you need to have more than 61pts both marner and Nylander had as 20-21 year olds. also Horvat is 26 in 2 months. I get that petey has been awful but Bo doesnt belong here

 

[Gurilla]

Ehlers and Nylanders are basically the same player, obviously biased and watching more of Ehlers I love his work ethic and hustle every single shift. The stats are similar but I think Ehler's is slightly ahead of Nylander as of right now in their careers.

 

[All Mod Cons]

One of these is not like the others.

 

[Pyrophorus]

And Horvat

He only has 10pts, the other 2 have 12.

 

[MardyBum]

Tell the Laine fans in Columbus we're back to point totals only!

Re read what I was responding to. It has nothing to do with what you’re talking about.

Was looking at a site that wasn’t updated yet. Good call

[BlueBaron]

Guessing OP is a Habs fan

Does Ehler's have the ability to play C as well? Nylander plays C whenever Tavares or Matthews is out. Soup-Nylander-Vesey dominated the Drai line the 2nd game at ES.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

That's fair since I believe it is close with him and Ehlers. But how so? He looks the same to me. He was quick out of the gate, but hasn't scored a goal since opening night. Ehlers has had a goal in 4 straight games. To me what will determine if Nylander has taken a step fwd is he will be less timid on the ice. When play gets more physical, I am just not sure he will show up. This is one area where I have always like Ehlers, he doesn't mind the heavy going. Close call either way.

So far Nylander looks way more vested in games than previously. He was known to take shifts off but so far this season he looks to have matured and is taking every shift seriously and giving 100%.
Can't say if thats going to = more points but his effort level bodes well for when the games get tougher.

Nylander doesn't play C and it has shown in the few times he has tried it.

Weird how he was drafted as one, and told Babcock, it where he wanted to be.

 

[Dache]

Neither of those things make him a C

 

[Sasso09]

What exactly does that matter? He's not a C and hasn't proven he can be the same impact as a C in the NHL

Ya too bad it's not where he's played since making it into the NHL. I wonder why?
Oh must be because of Babcock. I see now.

Strange season so far i must say.

Ehlers......... 11 pts in 7 games
Nylander .....8 pts in 9 games.
Drouin ........8 pts in 7 games.

 

[Mrb1p]

Drouin does not belong
