Although the article didn't give many "Lindros" examples on twitter, the day that Nylander announced the switch both Nylander and Lindros were trending on twitter which suggests many people were talking about Lindros re: the number change. It makes absolutely no sense given Lindros's 33 game tenure with the Leafs but there you you have it.

I swear this isn?t me, but he?s doing exactly what I?d be doing if I bothered learning how to clip videos.

Even when he was ?garbage?, Nylander was productive and could have easily been even moreso.

I think he's going to be amazing this year. Beware the player with talent, a chip on his shoulder, and a full training camp.
And for yahoo pick'em poolies, he'll likely be ranked low based upon his half-year. If it works out, I'll be picking him up on every team I draft.

In all seriousness, I really don't know what to expect. I feel like Nylander is going to have a monster year, but I agree with the commentator that 70 (or even 60) even-strength points will be a pretty tough mark to hit. I actually didn't realize Marner had that many EV points.
Having both Marner and Nylander in the 70-90 point range will be pretty great as we'd most likely have four forwards hit that mark.
On top of that, I can see both Barrie and Rielly hitting 60 points. considering this was supposed to be a crappy year due to Salary Capmageddon, things are looking pretty promising.

It's weird because this is just sports-radio sort of talk. Most of these guys have proven stuff. If you want to say that what they've proven doesn't count because they haven't won a playoff series, say so but that's more or less just the same stuff we heard all of those years with Sundin and crew. Discounting what we've seen these guys do over 240 games because ONLY WINNING IN THE PLAYOFFS MATTERS AND YOU HAVE TO BE A REAL GUD PRO LIKE VINCE LOMBARDI SAID TO WIN IN THE PLAYOFFS doesn't really further the discourse.

All-caps strawmanning? You don't need to signal me, it's your M.O., everyone knows it's your M.O., and doing it ad nauseum is, in truth, the thing that doesn't further the discourse.
If any others care, note that I said "much of anything," which is not, emphatically, nothing ? as Nik screamingly tried to imply.

No, mockery. I'm intentionally likening you to the sort of sports-radio caller who would do the whole "COUNT THE RINGS" thing. To engage in strawmanning I'd first have to, you know, take you seriously.
Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:
And, again, if you want to say that what they've proven does not indicate that they will perform at the level being predicted, say that. Although the painfully obvious reply there is "Well, yes, that's why it's a prediction" but at least then you'd be engaging with the core concept.
Seriously, it's "Based on what they've done, how many points do you think William Nylander might score this year" is just such a delicate, inoffensive concept in off-season talk to reply like that is just laughable, hence, you know, the mockery.

In 2017-18, William Nylander scored 49 even strength points, which outproduced everyone's all-situations productions save for: Marner, Matthews, Nylander (of course), Kadri, JvR, Rielly, Gardiner.
Matthews had 50 even strength points in this injury shortened season; Marner had 42.
