Alex Hobson:

In my opinion, I think that they’re better off keeping Nylander at right wing alongside of Auston Matthews.

However, this depends on what they plan to do with Tyler Bozak next season.

If Bozak leaves, I think Nylander moving to the middle is a no-brainer, given that they don’t really have any depth after Kadri.

But if Bozak stays, you definitely keep Nylander on the wing. His chemistry with Matthews last season was absolutely unbeatable and they complimented each other so well. In the end, it all depends on whether or not Bozak stays or goes.
