So we're getting Halak again? He was undefeated here.

(Is he even their goalie anymore? Is this a good joke?)

Halak on the other hand, did hate Buffalo!

Were they the same draft class? I don't remember and don't feel like looking it up. I do know that Nylander went straight to the AHL when we drafted him and was one of the youngest kids there. This was the year I wanted to see what he had, but the injury didn't help.
- Zschalberg

No, and different parts of the first round.

I get sucked down way too many rabbit holes here

In this season, they are both scoring at 0.5ppg.
Colin White is an entire year older, and even examining their career stats, the difference doesn't move any meaningful needle.

So let's not get wrapped around any axles.

- Der Kaiser

Great, both very small sample sizes.

Let's revert back to my original post

**for a top 10 pick (This doesn't apply to Colin White), Nylanders numbers are very poor so far in the AHL**

Can we end it there?

If you're still asking me to accept your premise that the position a player is selected in the first round (especially after the top 5) is important factor in measuring his performance, then we can't end it other than by saying I reject the premise because it is simply (frank)ing nuts.

Halak didn't want to be here. Maybe hated was extreme. Neuvirth lived in Kenmore on Deerhurst and was friends with some friends. Never heard anything about hating it.

Reject it all you want.

I don't hate Nylander, I like Nylander. I hope Nylander becomes an absolute stud. He's incredibly skilled

That doesn't change the fact that he had very poor performances at the end of the WJ's, in the tougher games, and he's had a rocky start in the AHL.

Those are just facts

They never wanted halak that was just a throw-in and to trade him later on

Neuvirth probably kept it close to his chest but he hated how buffalo was taking on purpose and he wanted no part of it and Tim Murray gave him an ultimatum so he traded him

Maybe I'm missing the sarcasm but shouldn't we give a prospect time to develop before we jump there? He was a kid in the AHL on a bad team last year, he's hardly played after an injury this year. Let's see what we've got before saying he's a bum.
- Zschalberg

Idk, Kids excel faster than ever now. Don't they? Laine lit up the NHL last year. I get lighting up the NHL and bum are opposite ends of the spectrum, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Right, I don't dispute that, and that has translated into him being an average scorer at the NHL (He does well relative to ice time)

So that's damming for Nylander then, correct?

- sbroads24



pretty much...

the book on nylander was that he had elite skills (possibly the highest skill-level in the draft) but that he, like armia, also disappeared but was awesome when he showed up...

personally, I really wanted sergachev, but that wasn't to be...

however, i'm interested in seeing how he develops under Botterill and Co...will be a major factor
