Player Discussion William Nylander

[ZEBROA]

Yes, they have all played together, and both have spent most of their minutes with an elite player, so these attempts to act like Nylander has been so disadvantaged are pretty silly.

But who have played with the most elite players. 1Matthews 2.Marner 3.Tavares 4. Nylander.

And Tavares and Nylanders style dont gel at all long stretches. Wich some blame Nylander for and some Tavares. I blame both. Same with Matthews Nylander.

I would have like
to see Nylanders stats if he had played with Marner as much as Matthews has. How many games has Marner/Matthews played with Holmberg or any of the other fourth liners vs Nylander?

Not everybody can play with Matthews or Marner. But they who dont automatic have a disadvantage.

With this is aint saying Nylander is better then Marner overall , but he is better then he seems.

I mean, honestly, Nylander's style doesn't really gel with anybody. He doesn't work great with either Tavares or Mathews. Because Nylander's style isn't really all that much about utilizing teammates in the same way. That's not necessarily a bad thing inherently, but it makes this kind of discussion murky.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for Nylander is give him a defensively responsible center, a winger with speed, and an easier matchup, and let him cheat a bit and do his cardio.

Marner and Nylander have shown some flashes together before, but aside from the whole playing the same position thing that makes putting them together difficult, the issue with those two together is that they both thrive on carrying the puck.

How many games has Marner/Matthews played with Holmberg or any of the other fourth liners vs Nylander?

Over the referenced 3 years, Nylander played with Holmberg for about 30 minutes more than Matthews and 50 minutes more than Marner. That's like 2-3 games over 3 years...
