Did you screencap that or something, or is his camera injured too?

Actually he does(speed, shot), it’s just can he put it all together.

The fans reaction to Nylander (in general) is of a failed draft pick.

I feel it’s another in a long list for poor player management(former management mind you)

Chicago obviously feels that they can get his full potential out of him.

Hope the best for him.

The fact that he's been very injury prone doesn't help either.

Edmonton, they’re giving up the best player.

Even if he put it all together, it's still less valuable than a top pair D.

Potential is just a projection. It's changed for both players over time.

Have to think Edm fans are pissed they didn't trade Pulju for Henri.

You’d think but my guess is Botts called Chicago, asked is Henri available, and cost?

He’s going to be a top 4 NHLer.

If he reaches his potential he’s a top 2 defenseman.


Nylander has to be a top 6 NHL winger or he’s nothing more than Jody Gage.


That said imo Nylander has the higher ceiling. This a boom or bust deal for Chicago but they did turn around Stromes career if he continues the way he seems to be trending.

All and all I think this is a great move for Buffalo regardless of what Nylander does.

Any Jodey gage reference is a good one

I want to see what olofsson can do with eichel. And that trade doesnt move the meter enough for me to say yes.

Only price I’d pay for a center is Risto

It's such a surprise trade, my guess would be that it started asking about a different player.

And I don’t think you get RNH for Risto now that Chiarelli isn’t there.

Or they were working on a bigger trade with those players involved and couldn’t workout the minor details so they just did the one for one.

Scandella is nowhere near my top 6 - he was utterly horrible last year. Bogo, McCabe, pilut, Nelson and henri would all be ahead of him on my list.

Honestly have a funny feeling it was a Crawford and Hutton kinda swap but Botts wanted a sweetener.

Don’t ask me why, just a gut thing.
