Both terrific players. Both deserve credit. I think its about time though the whole "Nylander is a soft overrated middle 6 winger" rhetoric should end.

Well points aren't aren't everything. The reality was Nylander was average to good in his first two years. IMO he was undeserving of 7m. Last year after his late signing, he was truly poor all year. Guentzel certainly by the eye test was the superior player.
The light bulb has gone on the year for Nylander. After especially since Keefe's arrival he has been very good. Lets's see if he can keep this level of enthusiasm/engagement/concentration all the time.

Quoting: palhal

I feel that the hardline attitude of Babs was hard for Nylander.
