I am not sure why I feel that I need to defend Nylander because I am not head over heels in love with him, and to be honest this is just scoreboard watching at this point. However a highly intellegent RW with 75 points in 57 regular season games, and 12 points in 6 playoff games all while playing in his first season in North America, sure seems like someone we could use. I am not sure where all of the talk of poor attitude and not playing well when it counts comes from as he delivered in the playoffs and played well in the world Juniors. Has anyone with any crediblity sited any attitude issues with him? Any interviews I have seen he sure comes accross as a humble kid.

If we have to "settle" for this kid at 6th I would be happy. I feel that taking a punt on someone who can turn into a real weapon is more valuable to us than a sure fire unspectacular defensman at this point in our rebuild. Nylander seems to me to be both bpa and fill a gap in the rw.
