From scratch? Nylander , I do get the argument of leafs needing Wilson more as they have 3 other elite talents up front and could use a power forward who can seamlessly play in the top six. If I was say Seattle and had to pick one for my top forward it’d be Nylander
neither of them are players you build a team around.
But Nylander, easily. Without question. If you're starting from scratch you always take skill first. You can always add guys like wilson through trades. Look at what tampa did with Goodrow and Coleman?
he is, i mean it's not to say wilson is a bad player. Nylander is just really good. But some people think smashing a guy from behind and giving him CTE while you get suspended is more important.

Sure,Wilson’s probably the better all around player,but Nylander’s younger,and still improving...
You can find another Nylander fairly easily. You will not find another Tom Wilson. Likely ever again. Wilson has the whole package on and off the ice. I'm sure other NHL players would rather have Wilson on there team than Nylander.
