Keefe is a breath of fresh air. Moving nylander to lw is long overdue. He was dominant in last 2 world championships at lw

As long as he stays with Matthews. Needs him to get his points.

Oh ok, that’ll for sure translate into success at the NHL

Willy will always be a perimeter player. Floaty McFloatface.

Willy isn’t a top line player in the NHL. He can’t compete with the best head on.

I feel he works well with AM.
The JT/MM line has been rocking lately, so no need to mess with that right now.
Willie isnt really a 3rd line player, so......keep him with AM.

This is my point.

He’s not chippy enough to be a 3rd liner, but he’s not defensively efficient enough to play with AM. He doesn’t fit on the Leafs

Your point seems to forget that there's ANOTHER winger on that line. You need more than 1 guy with offensive gifts to make a line work. Your expectations for what Nylander should bring ignore that the third winger on that line should be bringing that.

I'm not a fan of Kapanen with Matthews at any time, because in my (perhaps limited) viewpoint, Kapanen - regardless of wing - is a straight-lane player. He gets in his lane and he just goes. He will cut to the net, and he will shoot. He is not a great passer. He does not have a lethal release. He does not have a great shot. So gaining the zone with possession and using Kapanen to move the puck around or trying to find Kapanen in an optimal shooting position isn't his strength.

Gaining the zone, finding a pocket, passing the puck while still being someone with a good shot and is a secondary threat is something Nylander is good at, but he could use the same thing that Tavares and Marner have on their line - a disturbance on the wing to create room and to retrieve the puck and to forecheck effectively.

That line also needs Hyman. If they can't have Hyman, they should have Mikheyev or as a lesser third option, give them Engvall as an experiment.
