Mike Babcock talked about William Nylander learning a 200 foot game for the Toronto Maple Leafs and he was deployed in a sheltered role during his 22 game span to minimize the difficulty with the transition to the NHL.
Nylander held a 15.4 ZSO%rel, good enough for 22nd among all forwards in the NHL who played at least 283 minutes at 5v5. There were 410 qualifying players (war-on-ice).
That’s partly due to the fact he was a 19 year old offensive star entering the National Hockey League for the first time and partly because, well, he’s there to create scoring chances.
