Another youngster with a boatload of potential, Nylander looked really dangerous in the Hawks’ season debut, taking advantage of a turnover and then using the screen nicely for a goal.

As much as we came to enjoy the combat, it’s fairly simplistic with a lot of encounters requiring no more than holding down the basic attack button and maybe rotating the left stick to change the aiming point.
