Nylander is a better goal scorer Dubois or Tkachuk. Nylander plays from the point on the power play and can find seems. A lot of goals are individual efforts, whereas Tkachuk is a trigger man for Dvorak and Marner.
Sure Nylander is soft. But hes really fast when he wants to be (he likes to slow things down) and he's got softer hands than both Dubois and Tkachuk. I like the physical game of Dubois, but Tkachuk I don't like at all at 6th OA. Tkachuk doesn't generate offense on his own. He reminds me of Yakupov.
