Quoting: Hobo
Toronto wins this deal 200% - Nylander has hands, but he is a marshmallow and tends to struggle in tight games with more checking - aka playoffs. Not to mention Reinhart is the better asset and the Sabres apparently are tossing in a 25 year old 40 pt player with upside to 60 or 70 a year with Olofsson. Not sure how on earth leaf fans value Nylander to be worth two players that out perform him on many levels.
Heck toss in Eichel too - lets get crazy.....man alive this a sad one.
as far as the nylander marshmellow thing... the guy scored practically all of 31 goals last year by going to the net (not something a marshmellow does)
now as for comparing Reinhart vs Nylander
Reinhart is older, a pending RFA (while WIllie is locked up and proven to have chemistry with team)
lets compare some career numbers
better goals per game? Nylander
better assists per game? Nylander
better points per game? Nylander
better at faceoffs? Nylander
better goals created per game? Nylander
better shots per game? Nylander
better possession quality? Nylander (by nearly triple)
Nylander has finished top 5 in GWG twice (Reinhart never)
as for Olofsson
hes also older than nylander and has combined barely played over a full season in the league lol
