i think Nyquist is the right type of player (higher event, all situations, somewhat active forechecker, etc.) to replace Ehlers but doesn’t bring near enough value, despite being a stylistic/system fit, to replace Ehlers
but I bet they’re also hoping that Toews gets back to his pre-immune issues, top 6 results self to couple with Nyquist to help spread out the replacement of Ehlers
stuff like Perfett and Vilardi taking another step would also marginally help, as would Iafallo’s role increasing quite a bit, but all these generous assumptions still probably don’t add up enough
Hoping nyquist can have a better year than last. He was moved halfway through the season and also got moved around the team quite a bit. If he can find consistency on the jets that would be lovely
You heard it here first. Nyquist outscores Ehlers next year.
