You’re right, but where I think there’s a differentiation is Nylander can easily play in the first line and he makes his own plays while playing hard. There’s some risk but he fits in well on that team. I don’t think on a championship you want him as your first option but on the Leafs he’s interchangeable as his skill and work ethic are there. Huberdeau is in a bad system for his style and skill set.
