Alex Nylander assigned to Team Sweden for 2018 IIHF WJC in Buffalo

[WildCard]

I wanna say this is a good thing?

[TrueBlueGED]

This is the right move. Looking forward to watching him.

[Ogre]

I think it will be good for him. He needs confidence. He was not good tonight. A saw a chance to get a loose puck and break into the zone but he just coasted towards the puck and let the Sen have it, taking a poke at it. He needs to be aggressive but he’s not even close to that.

[darksabre]

I'm going to say that I don't know if this will be good for him. I think I'd almost prefer he keep grinding things out in the A.

[Rasmus_]

Good, the tournament got some more match up intrigue.

Slump buster. That's what I'm hoping Juniors are for him.

[pi2000]

Showcase for a trade.

Either it builds his confidence or it makes that 8th overall pick the defining GMT Murray moment. (Which it might be anyway.)

I agree.

 

It depends how Sweden does in the tourney though, but if Sweden does well it will most likely help with his confidence since he will be playing top line.

[Huckleberry]

I think its a good move, he'll come back up to game speed.

[French Collection]

He's been there and done that, but I think his confidence needs a boost.

 

Maybe Dahlin's magic rubs off on him.

At some point that definition of insanity kicks in and expecting something different to happen from the same set of inputs isn't the way to go. 

He's showing nothing so far as a pro so might as well see if he can get back to what made him a Top 10 draft pick and then take that back to the A again. 

[North Buffalo]

Nylander needs a kick in the back side bigger disappointment then Sam who is at least working on his craft. Not saying either gets there... but jeez. After watching Nashville and considering Sabres D... gotta think they go for top end D in draft.

[LTS]

It can't be a bad thing for him right?  Sometimes a brief change is all you need.

 

It's also an indication of just how young he is... he can still play in the WJC

Let's see what he can do. It's the age of competition that most guys his age are playing against. If he'd spent the last 2 years tearing it up in the CHL, no one would have any concerns about him.

[dudacek]

I like it as a potential to boost his confidence.

Kid seems a little too tightly wound.

Good point. Not really sure what to make of it though

@ByMHarrington

Housley on Nylander going to WJC: "You can get a good boost of confidence 

if your country does well and that's what we're looking for from him, to continue to develop his game." #Sabres

Yup. Confidence is reasons 1, 2, and 3 Botterill sent him, I'd bet.

Perhaps but I'll tell you what it isn't, doin the Same thing over and over blah blah blah. I had a boss who used that incoherent jibberish constantly to the point where it made ME insane.

 

IT'S NOT THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY, IS A MISATTRIBUTED QUOTE FROM SOME 1980s BOOK. DRIVES ME NUTS.

I don't give a as I didn't attribute it but you got my point nonetheless. I fully understand it's not the dictionary definition of the word insanity.

I thought it was a quote from Einstein.
