Keller has a superior motor and I think that has a bigger effect on translating to this level than being taller. Keller can also give you minutes as a penalty killer, and looks to project as a very good faceoff man as well. Keller is probably the only player in this draft who's been compared to both Patrick Kane AND Jonathan Toews.
There are just too many ways Keller will get himself ice time, get himself the puck, and ultimately distribute it - whereas Nylander will not offer much if he's not on the scoring stat sheet.
