Sheldon Keefe on the increase in ice time and production for his young stars: “I wanted to give those guys every opportunity to make the difference they felt they were capable of making”

How did the experience coaching William Nylander with the Marlies‘ impact how you’ve coached him now? What have you seen in his last 20 or so games that has led to such consistent offensive production?

Keefe: Like all the players I have coached before, you aren’t starting from scratch. You’ve got more experience and a bit of a relationship. It was a pretty short time with the Marlies — just the one season, and not even a full season — but it gives you more perspective on the player and all of that.
