Player Discussion William Nylander

[Racer88]

You state the obvious.

There is no debate that a goal has higher value.

Of course but there appears to be with some. Some will go to any length to prop their guy up

The gold standard is aggregate points because you want your superstar player to score goals but also have the assists totals as receipts for facilitating those around him.

Goals on their own are more important than assists, but goal scorers are not necessarily as important as facilitators who can make use of teammates and turn them into goal scoring machines.

No doubt assists have value.

Being able to pass the puck helps the finishers do their job, like the nurse handing the instrument to the surgeon. With luck the surgeon is Matthews not Kampf.

Yeah, like dismissing the value of playmaking, against all evidence.

 

[ZEBROA]

If you pass the puck to Tavares or Matthews who would you bet on to score?

Nylander makes passes too. If the player is Matthews the chance of a assist to Nylander intresse, big time vs Holmberg. Or kampf or even Tavares.

Matthew's will do a keyhole surgery, Kampf will just chop off the leg

Great passing help the team very much. But the pass receiver is more important. Never heard of a snakebitten playmaker.

Marner is great at D to, as are Matthews. But if we only talk the playmaker part. Scoring is more important.
