Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander is at the Winter Olympics right now, and there are debates surrounding whether or not he should just come home.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have three players at the Winter Olympics, and all of them have had injury issues this season. That includes Oliver Ekman-Larsson, William Nylander, and Auston Matthews.
In fact, there is already some controversy surrounding Nylander, who was missing at Sweden's practice on Tuesday.
While he showed up for morning skate on Wednesday, there is still a ton of concern around Nylander and whether or not he will be healthy through the playoffs.
It is something the Maple Leafs will be looking at, and it is something that has caught the attention of Leafs analyst Jeff O'Neill.
Jeff O'Neill gets real with William Nylander
On Tuesday, following the news of Nylander missing practice, O'Neill took to the airwaves, where he revealed what he would do with the forward.
Essentially, O'Neill believes some sort of ultimatum needs to be given here. In fact, he would suggest that Nylander just pack his bags and leave the Olympic village, once and for all.
I would tell him to get his ass home
If you are a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, you are certainly a bit annoyed by Nylander and the brazen way in which he flies by the seat of his pants.
There is this sense that he feels like he is bigger than the program, and the fans don't always love that kind of mentality. It is easy to see why.
The Leafs would love for Nylander to come back to Toronto with a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, that is not a guarantee.
