Player Discussion William Nylander

POs, special teams. How could so much AAV produce so bad. It makes no sense. How would you fix it?

Great question. I can't figure out why they can't just have Matthews sit in the same spot as Ovie and Stamkos and just wire pucks.

Yes, I heard that too but I was not sure if it was JB or Sammy. That was a year ago. Willie is now gaining the rep of being Mr. Breakaway so I expect teams will pay more attention to him for fear he will sneak in behind them and make them pay.

Agreed

If they want to match better defenders against him it means Marner and Matthews gain an easier load.

Either way the team benefits

Man when Willy is on he's real good. A shame he seems to always have atleast one plug on his line at all times.

If he's forcing their D to back off a bit doesn't that work in our favour, making it easier to clear the zone?

Rather that over allowing him breakaways.

He was really good tonight.

Willy plays best with guys who let him carry the puck and create. He needs a pass first 3C to play with.

He will drive the line.
