Player Discussion William Nylander

[ULF_55]

Probably speaks more to the lack of depth scoring that they lose when the top guys don't score.

Berube was very good last night.

Yup Leafs core 4 essentially determines if Leafs WIN or LOSE, because of lack of depth because of top heavy scoring at cap heavy consumption.

Nylander has a team leading 12 goals himself. Leafs bottom 18 players so called "depth" have scored 12 goals total after 18 games.

Where would the Leafs be without Nylander this year where he is scoring at the rate of 18 of his teammates combined?

Didn’t play a great game yesterday he was ok at best

2 points, good enough, I’d take 2 points a game all season long. It would be more than an ok season,

He got the points he’s smart and talented but he can be much better and he needs to be if we think we’re going anywhere

What I like about Willie so far this season is that he is around and attacking the net more. His goals are evidence of that but even if he doesn’t score, it is a great sign.

Hakan Loob only Swede to ever score 50goals. So yeah it would be amazing for more then one reason. But i would not bet on it universe wants us Swedes to stay humble.

Nylander is Canadian born so that curse does not apply to him.

50 goal season incoming, book it !!

I thought for sure Kent "the magic man" Nilsson had 50, but I see his best was 49.

There are only 13 of these 18 with more than a game or two.

Reinhart also has 12 goals, and that is only 1 fewer than the bottom 13 of Florida (all who have played 5 or more) combined.

The bottom 13 on Edmonton (12 have more than 2 games) have a combined 7 goals to Draisaitl's 12.

The bottom 17 on Colorado (16 have more than 2 games) have a combined 10 goals to Rantanen's 12.

The bottom 17 on Montreal (16 have more than 2 games) have a combined 11 goals to Caufield's 12.

Those are all the other teams with a player with 12 goals. Eliminating players with only 1or 2 games, we don't look any worse, and clearly better than Colorado and Montreal.

 

[ULF_55]

I think he is getting better at other parts of the game.

Okay, he's putting more efforts into other parts of the game.

Him and AM have been our best players since the start of last season. His ability to play in the playoffs is a breathe of fresh air

Willy currently on pace for 55 goals.

55 would be fantastic.

Couple questions to go unanswered,

Assuming he scores a few PP goals doesn't your projection show him giving up more even strength goals then scoring?
Is 91 points considered a reasonable accomplishment for such a highly paid player?

Is this a joke because he randomly disappeared in the playoffs so he could host watch parties at his home theatre or are you suggesting that he's a playoff performer?

Are you talking about when he had the concussion vision issue?

He’s got 28 points in his last 29 games and please find me a more consistent playoff performing Leaf. He shows up and turns it up. AM and MM had decent stats, but have folded on multiple occasions to be game changers
