I also know it isn't a super valid source, but I have a friend who lives in Mississauga and takes in games regularly as the company he works for has season tickets. He has told me nothing but bad things about Nylander and his attitude. Often blames his teammates and appears to think he is the reason the Steelheads are so good.
Also, he kicked my dog and peed in my cornflakes.

So the main concerns are that he is bad defensively, which isn't all that surprising for an 18 year old in his first year in the OHL and that he has attitude issues. If that is true, then I have no doubt our management will find this out. They'll speak to his coaches in their due diligence. I'm sure they'll have spotted these issues just like your friend has.
