Teuvo easily is. Wdym?
Teuvo is a PPG player (roughly) Who's also one of the best defensive forwards in hockey. I'd MUCH rather have TT than Nylander
Nylander is more versatille player (can play center extremely well), they are about the same when it comes to being defensively effective, Nylander is more productive than Teuvo throughout his career. But Teuvo is overall better defensively (defensive effectivity is not the same thing, its more using their tools to be as effective as they can).
20yo season:
Teuvo - 9 pts in 34 games / 0.26 p/g
Nylander - 61 pts in 81 games / 0.75 p/g
21yo season:
Teuvo - 35pts in 78 games / 0.45 p/g
Nylander - 61 pts in 82 games / 0.74 p/g
22yo season:
Teuvo - 42 pts in 81 games / 0.52 p/g
Nylander - 27 pts in 54 games / 0.5 p/g
23yo season:
Teuvo - 64 pts in 82 games / 0.78 p/g
Nylander - 59 pts in 68 games / 0.87 p/g
production wise Nylander is better in almost every season at the same age and is more versatille than Teuvo, while Teuvo is better defensively. Nylander is better, but not astronomically.
