In case you missed it, William Nylander signed his new six-year deal on Saturday. Vote below, and use the comment section to discuss.Buffalo of course is hosting the tournament this year, meaning Nylander will be in front of a somewhat home crowd despite playing in the United States. When the season was over, he joined the Finnish World Championship squad as one of their only players with NHL experience and was a big part of them taking home the gold medal once again.Overall it was quite the showing for Jokiharju, though his game at times did show the warts usually associated with 19-year old defensemen.

Nylander is second on the Maple Leafs in goals (19), tied-second in points (38), second in shots (114) and tied-fourth in plus/minus (plus-8). That may be short lived as several teams just beneath them play before the Sabres go for their 10th straight win on Tuesday, but few could have predicted the success for second-year general manager The Sabres shook up their entire roster from a year ago and made critical additions at every level, which included adding While it would make sense to put Skinner and his 18 goals in this spot, we can save him for later. The former Blackhawk should add a significant presence on their bottom-six and add an element of physicality to the team. The Blackhawks picked up de Haan from Carolina  and while he’s currently dealing with a shoulder injury and isn’t expected to start the season, he has proven to be a solid defender for years and should upgrade the team’s top-four. The team re-acquired Saad back in 2017 in hopes of bringing back a big-time goal scorer. Get expert fantasy help on who to start: Alexander Nylander or Andreas Athanasiou. The team is very young and is loaded with talent at the AHL level as well. If he can produce at a similar level, the Blackhawks will have to offer pay up again, giving them two potential significant contracts the team will have to pay out one year from now.Chicago also is banking on a number of their draft picks to make an impact. Smith is in a similar situation. When the Buffalo Sabres drafted Alexander Nylander at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, they felt they were getting a player with one of the highest skill sets available. Their group of 2017 first-round picks—For Canada, a team that has just a single first-round pick on the whole roster, the scoring responsibility has been spread throughout. In what has been a tournament filled with outstanding performances—except perhaps at the ticket offices—Canada and Sweden have outlasted all the rest and will come together in the World Junior Championship gold medal match tonight.

Dahlin has played well sharing No. The Blackhawks have done quite a bit of work to bring in a number of top players on entry-level contracts over the past few years in hopes of taking a team that was loaded with high-priced, aging talent and getting them back into playoff contention. They have hit the jackpot with DeBrincat, who immediately stepped onto the ice and has been a phenomenal top-six player for the past two years, scoring 69 goals so far, including a key 41-goal season last year. The team also hopes that Kampf and Dahlstrom can prove themselves in their lineup.In hopes of improving its defense, the team went out and acquired a pair of defenders in de Haan and Maatta over the summers.

While those are career-highs after struggling with just 10 goals in the 2016-17 season and eight goals in an injury-plagued 2017-18 when he missed the first two months of the season with a strained groin, the team was hoping for more from one of their top prospects.He started the season strong, but disappeared in a stretch of 19 games from December through February where he tallied just one goal and four assists in that time. His puck possession skills are excellent and he can create offense both for himself and his teammates, even if his overall game hasn’t quite come together yet.The Blackhawks have some recent history to look back on in terms of high picks finally fulfilling their potential upon arriving in Chicago.
