Nylander will be an NHL player and really the only question is if he becomes an elite winger or top 6 winger. Keller could bust if everything doesn't go right for him.
Yah Nylander is bigger than Keller, but they are both not what i would call "physical specimens". They're both skilled wingers who aren't physical at all. As an NHL example, does size really matter between an Eberle/Hemsky type player versus a T.Johnson/Gaudreau type player? I don't think so.

If we're taking a skilled forward at 6, might as well take the most skilled forward in Keller
