"In terms of where he ranks among his right wing peers, Nylander is tied for fifth overall, with Tampa Bay Lightning's Nikita Kucherov coming at the top with 96 overall, Boston Bruins and Nylander's own best bud David Pastrnak placing second with 94 overall, Mikko Rantanen in third with 93 overall, and then reigning Stanley Cup champion Sam Reinhart rounding out the group who are rated above Nylander."
"While we can try to debate whether or not the player who plays for our favourite hockey team is actually better than any of those players who do not, it feels like a right rating when thinking about overall reputation and what has happened recently. But what is truly the most interesting tidbit of this rating is that for the second consecutive year, Nylander is tied with now-former teammate Mitch Marner. When the two were both in Toronto, placing them in the same rating felt like an easy way to ease the tensions and not think about who was Team Marner and who was Team Nylander when it came to the two"
EA Sports released top-10 ratings for each position in NHL 26 and listed William Nylander among top right wingers. Nylander earned a 92 overall rating, up from 91 after a 45-goal, 84-point season. The 92 places him tied for fifth among right wings behind Nikita Kucherov (96), David Pastrnak (94), Mikko Rantanen (93), and Sam Reinhart. The increase reflects recent production and reputation. Nylander remains tied with now-former Maple Leafs teammate Mitch Marner for the second consecutive year. The tie previously helped temper fan debates over which player was superior.
