Ehlers >>> Nylander

Uh nope. Nylander might not be much better, if at all better, but Ehlers is not >>> better than Nylander.

>>> was an exaggeration but I think Ehlers is better and on a better cap hit

You have a point, but I chose Nylander for a number of reasons:
a) He's better in my opinion, if only slightly better (it's very close)
b) I had the cap space (he's not even payed 1 million more anyway)
c) I wanted exactly half the team to be leafs and half jets
