This should go without saying.
But speaking of Nylander, I was surprised to see when I checked is hockeydb page just now how little elite level hockey he has played before last year: Only 8 games in Sweden Div. 1 in 2012–13, and then 35 games last year followed by 22 in the Elitserien (which I see is now called the "Swedish Hockey League").
I would think that the best course of action for him would probably be to spend either a full year back in the SEL or in the CHL to help him acclimate.
