A few weeks ago in a post I predicted that Nylander will be in the top five scoring for the American Hockey League. There might be an impact factor in that not coming to light: the NHL trade deadline.
Nylander has shown in two professional leagues (SHL/AHL) that he is more than capable of being effective even at such a young age.
If the young forward can continue his progression and plays at a high level all season with the Toronto Marlies he could find himself high on the “look list” of replacement players for those shipped out at the trade deadline.
