I’d love to see Grebenkin and A. Nylander shine tonight. I think they could be huge assets.

Knies Matthews Marner
Nylander Nylander McMann
Pacrioetty Tavares Grebenkin

A.Nylander and Jarnkrok are pretty interchangeable imo. Both smallish Swedish forwards who can chip in 15 goals but don't offer much else. Jarnkrok might be a little better defensively but neither are elite on D. I think it will be hard for A.Nylander to make the team when they're paying Jarny 2.1.

I might be one of the biggest haters of Jarnkrok but to call him a little better than A.Nylander at defence seems a bit disingenous. He's a top pker, and one of our go to guys for defence

If we kept him strictly fourth line winger + PK1 + out when we are up late come playoffs, I could live with that if we had the cap

Alex Nylander had a solid like 9 games last season, people are getting way too excited.

He's also on an AHL deal.

I disagree at that. The defense gap between nylander and Jarnkrok is a huge gap. In regards to offense Jarnkrok is “you see what you get” while nylander still might have more.

People talking about how poor our defense is. My experience is these are the games we defend the best. I bet we beat Ottawa's A group tonight

Thank you. It's like people don't know who Jarnkrok is because he was hurt so much last season
