I really don't give a damn about his awesome skill set if he doesn't have the ability to step it up when it counts. He plays smaller than he is, and that is not what the Flames need, no matter how much skill he has. They already have a collection of small players with skill. They need some bodies with size that can bang and get their nose dirty. That player isn't a Nylander.

Well, if what you say is true, then the Flames' scouts know it too. So I don't think you need to worry about them picking Nylander.
