Player Discussion William Nylander

He had a hit with his 4 shots towards net?

I have a strong suspicion that Williams IS the Grinch. Every Christmas, he takes away all the hope you had for him having a great season.

Hockey is hard game to play when you try to avoid contact,it complicates your trajectory, on the fortunate side the game is more excepting of Nylanders game, but not that much.

Tavares is having a great year compared to his previous years but I fear his game dips in the playoffs and we will eventually need a strong #2C going forward. Bennett would fit the bill for the coach. Not so much for Leafs management.

So you would be thinking a next year deal for a C. I have a few concerns about Bennett. There is no guarantee he would thrive in Toronto and his track record so far is as a 50pt guy which is not really 2nd line production on most teams. Add to that he has a Cup with the club that gave him as real chance and the better tax rate down there and I think he could be a substantial overpay for any other team he were to move to. I have no deep knowledge on the Panthers plans but from what I have read it seems possible they might be cutting ties with Ekblad instead. And does Sam want to go back to the GM who gave up on him?

Don't get me wrong, SB would make the team better for the right price but they have to be going after players like him and Reinhart before they have broken out.. I think for a center they will have to trade assets and the time to do that is now to support their shrinking window.

I guess people aren’t losing their minds over Nylanders comments because they already lost them over Marners earlier.

Imagine if Marner said "It's only been 3 games. What's the big deal, really?"
