William Nylander Discussion: 2016 v2

[Menzinger]

He's always been a gym rat.

Never got the criticism that people claim he lacks size - he's obviously got great core strength.

I wasn't trying to discredit Willy at all. Just pointing out that he is jacked and in that pic I do think it was taken to make him look a bit more jacked (I mean why was it even taken it the 1st place ?? ) I should also note I meant to say the camera position as well. Taking a picture downwards always seems to make a nicer picture imo. The angle is a good one.

The picture I replied with is probably a better one to judge him based on Willy being in a standing position instead of an athletic position.

He has a pump going in that picture,etc ...

First of all, that was not a magazine pic where they photoshop like mad. Secondly, no amount of camera and lighting can make a skinny person look like that.
Can't wait to see him next season.

 

[Daisy Jane]

His quads look Marty St Louis-like in that picture

those still freak me out

[Liminality]

Is it just me or does he not look all that different.

He's got the tan going in his last picture that's for sure.

 

[cookie]

His hairline's receding though

 

[yubbers]

Nylander smash!

balding swedes = dominate swedes

 

[Diddy]

To pretty to hit. He'll score 50 goals this upcoming season as the goalies will be lost in his eyes. Only thing stopping him from crushing Gretzky's records is his pity for the old man.

Gonna be like his dad sooner than later.

Always strange going into a thread where people are discussing another shirtless man.

Why was it taken?

He's playing some volleyball with his father and a friend/family member and someone grabbed a picture for him?

Why is that odd?

Yup

I think people take facts poorly here.

If someone is 160 lbs. and 5'11" and someone suggests they are skinny and need to put on some muscle there is a rush to say it doesn't matter. That you are bashing the player, even after management says the same thing.

IMO it is normal to expect some physical growth of players after they are drafted, unless they are drafted as 20 year olds, and even then men do get stronger even if they don't get bigger, just by learning better technique, in body positioning, preparedness, stamina, ...

To suggest a prospect needs improvement should not cause panic in their fans.

Holy ********. Nylander has gotten completely ripped. I hope it doesn't slow him down, or make him less shifty.

On the flip side, Marner looks like he's 12.

Nylander was always jacked. He's going to really impress, my only worry with players is once they get into the range of salary where they start making 5+ million per year they stop caring as much, that's what really sets Crosby apart.

Hopefully Nylander is always motivated to improve.

Last year when he was pictured playing ball hockey, and was jacked I was really surprised but I guess that's what happens when you start taking your shirt off for photos.

Kessel would never take his shirt off for a photo, fatty.

Honestly I don't think its for a lack of trying, I just think that he can't put on weight.

lol, does he know he's going to be living in downtown Toronto, not some farm out by London?

 

[Mad Brills*]

gaudreau/marner?

 

[Battle Lin]

man since being drafted at 170ish nylander has put on like 20-30 pounds...and marner drafted at 160ish is the exact same

Really it's only strange if you're insecure in your own masculinity

What are you taking about? He's playing with his family and someone took a photo, I don't see the big deal. Also taking a picture looking up is how you make someone look jacked. I don't know why you can't just appreciate that he's working hard to be a great player for the leafs
