What He Did vs. Expectations

It’s hard to believe that Nyquist has been a Red Wing for 6 seasons. I remember when he was a Hobey Baker Award finalist coming out of Maine and his potential seemed limitless.

Following a career low in goals (17) and points (43) in 2015/16, I was cautiously optimistic that Gustav Nyquist would have a bounce-back season.
