I'd be okay with Nylander, but his U-18 performance put a wrinkle in my yearning for him as a top 6 guy. Like Previously stated, he played like soft room temp butter in that tournament. But it could have been he was just worn down form playing much more hockey than he is used to over the course of a season.
The year before he played what looks like a total of 68 games. Not bad and a decent workload, but this year he played a total of 92 gp with OHL Playoffs included. Proabably burnt out near the end.
