kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 Forums have been kinda too much about free agency or wife beaters so I'd figure I'd stir it up. Who do you think is better Tatar or Nyquist? Give some good reasons. Topic might get pretty detailed. Lets do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krayzie_Bone 58 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 I like Tatar more for his personality but I think Nyquist is better player overall right now. 1 Internet.Unknown reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisterDangles 65 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 I'm gonna be the lame one and not vote because I like them both for different reasons. Nyquist to me is more consistent and has the better chance at being a leader and top line player. Tatar is like a great sidekick that can be clutch for his team with excitement and his flash. His enthusiasm may bother some but I absolutely love it on a team that has so many laid back players. P.S. I had a choice to choose between a Nyquist and Tatar jersey and I chose Tats.....maybe that's my answer? 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I'd say Nyquist. There is something special about him. Reminds me of the way I felt about Zetterberg back when he first came into the league. Edited August 1, 2015 by kliq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyemeryhunter 2,747 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 I think tats will be the better goal scorer on a year to year basis, but overall I'd say Nyquist. He's a bit better positionally in the d zone, add to that the fact that tunar has a tendency to take risks in transition that I wish Nyquist would try a bit more. Tatars the better stick handler, but nikes got that simple yet effective handle that I think would make him really lethal if he held onto the puck more, especially when entering the offensive zone... I wish Nyquist had Tatars confidence though, that would be amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helmethead 235 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 Right now I'd say Tatar is. Eventually Nyquist might be. 1 DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 Based off last season, Tatar was the better player. In future, Nyquist if he can play better 5 on 5 and drive possession like Tatar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Datsyukian Deke 127 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 I voted Tatar because he had the better playoff performance this year. Generally speaking, I would like to see more of the energy that Tomas shows from Gus, too. I think Goose has the higher potential, but he needs to get tougher and deliver when it matters.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 I voted Nyquist, because he's the better overall player. But that's nothing against Tatar, Tatar bring his own skill and energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I voted Nyquist, he just has this natural goalscorer tough and calmess to him. Tatar is driven bis his energy but he is also has games where he just disappears, same goes for Goose but he then scores an important goal out of nowhere. Tatar will always get huge kudos from me for playing the next game when his father died that's some serious fight through it mentality. I'm hoping Nyquist can add some serious muscle this off-season and maybe become a poor-man's version of Stamkos => get in the gym and work your butt off with Gary Roberts.

wings87 1,290 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 Gus will usually end up with more points, but as an overall player I'll take Tatar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted August 1, 2015 I think Gus has more talent to work with than Tatar, but I think Tatar makes up for that with how hard he plays every shift, and how involved he gets. 2 martinezsvsu and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted August 4, 2015 Tatar is more dynamic Nyquist is steadier. Neither is better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Dubya 32 Report post Posted August 4, 2015 Nyquist was fairly meek last season. Granted, the expectations were high. Personally, I feel that Tatar is more clutch and that's kind of a big deal for me. He seems to enjoy the big occasions, GTGs and GWGs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
