How long will Nylander experiment at centre last? – OverDrive
Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Jamie McLennan discuss if the William Nylander playing centre is the right move for the Maple Leafs and why make the move now.
No cup til Tavares is off the books. He is too slow too soft too expensive , he will not and cannot pass. For the price I could have another Bertuzzi and Domi. Bertuzzi-Mathews-Marner Knies-Nylander-Domi Robertson-Tavares- Jarkrok McGregor- Kamph- Reevo
Nylander would definitely say yes, if he is a center, he will ask for more in his next contract, when comparatively to other center in the NHL who scores 40 goals and 80 points.
He was drafted as a centre, and I think this is better than throwing him in as a centre halfway through the season in the middle of a game. See if he can do it. Tavares would be a very effective winger.
I'd rather them figure of Nylander can play center in training camp and pre season games than having Nylander in the center spot in a freaking elimination game like they did against CBJ
Having Willy as a third line center is a joke. He is a top line player in most NHL teams except Toronto. It is just disrespectful to his talent. If I were him I would not resign in Toronto. If you want defensive players that can not score you can easily get a whole line of them for the same price as Willy.
You guys should do a Jerry's % on how many games b4 Keefe is fired, 25, 30 or 40. He won't last the year. Should have been fired at end of last year. He's a lousy coach.

Knies is a philly keith primeau …power forward …I say he makes a impact
Nylander is getting thrown on the third line on a solo mission to nose dive his points totals.
Agree with Noodles, have Nylander at C and JT at wing
A reporter asked him…thats why he explaned why
Dude was drafted as a center though😂

Bertuzzi-Mathews-Marner
Knies-Nylander-Domi
Robertson-Tavares- Jarkrok
McGregor- Kamph- Reevo
Or maybe there showcase him. To show that he can play center and wing.
8 games…..then when the real season starts he will be back on the wing…he isn’t aggressive enough to be a centre
Noodles said it: why announce it? A big set-up.

What's wrong with trying Holmberg as the 3rd line center? I thought he played well last year.
stamkos to the leafs lol

could the Leafs use another top nine forward? a second line right winger or third line center?

56 years apparently.
After 8 years in the NHL Willy's going to play Centre? I get he was drafted as a Centre but it's been 8 years, he's not a Centre.
If you are shopping him around showcasing him as a centre increases his value
they bumped him to 3rd line
too many what if and opinion based reporting people want facts not fairy tales
I bet it's to trade him

How long will the World Record Active Cup drought last for Nylander and the Leafs?
