Future Considerations:

A playmaker first, Nylander can make the opposition defense look like a bunch of peewee players. With an NHL-ready shot, Nylander lights the lamp anytime he wants to. He consistently added something to his game with each viewing, improving his defensive game in the process. He will need to add to his frame, but his elusive ability and separation speed make him a force at this level.
