Today comparing both players side by side - Nylander is > Reinhart - Nylander is the better offensive and defensive player, is more versatile, is literally the best player in the league at zone entries - Reinhart broke 60 pts once Nylander has consistently done it (except his hold out year)
last 3 years 82 game average:
Reinhart 24 goals, 34 assists, 58 points .71 ppg
Nylander 23 goals, 36 assists, 59 points .71 ppg
career total: reinhart 400 games, 109 goals, 146 assists, 255 points. nylander: 307 games, 86 goals, 135 assists, 221 points. seeing as sam played 9 games in his draft year and 79 games the year after, the overall ppg discrepancy is skewed by reinhart playing younger than nylander.
i conceded that nylander is better, but not by much.
