William Nylander: 8th overall pick, 1st round of the 2014 NHL Draft. 2015-16 Season Stats – AHL: 38GP/45 points. NHL: 22GP/13 points.
He was pretty much what the Toronto Maple Leafs expected he would be this season. He tore it up in the AHL with the Marlies, and looked pretty good up in the NHL. He’s got a laser of a shot and sweet hands. Nylander has elite hockey sense and easily creates time and space for his linemates. He bought in to Mike Babcock’s coaching style, and improved his game without the puck.
