William Nylander's Player Profile
Profile from: Eldon MacDonald and Chris Ralph of The Hockey Writers - updated Feb. 28th
William Nylander is perhaps the most skilled dynamic forward available. The knock against Nylander is that he hasn’t shown the willingness to utilize his teammates leaving scouts to question his dedication to the team game. Without a doubt, Nylander possesses the puck skills and timely offensive instincts to become a game-breaker but it’s still fairly uncertain how high teams are willing to gamble on such a talent.

@IssHockey - "A consistent threat; incredible skater & quickness combined w/ elite stickhandling." - Dec. 20th, 2013
@IssHockey - "Outstanding at U18 4-Nations; showcasing elite offensive weapons with 3 PTS in 3 GP." - Nov. 19th, 2013
"William exudes confidence when he plays. Exceptional poise with the puck and is always looking to make threatening plays in the offensive zone. Excellent skater who is very difficult to check because of his agility and because he is always changing pace. Can make pinpoint passes in traffic and if you are his line mate, best be ready, as he will provide opportunities. Top line type player."
