Major update on William Nylander's contract negotiations

Earlier this summer it felt like a foregone conclusion that William Nylander had played his final game for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Rumors swirled that Nylander had made a contract demand of over 10 million per season. A contract the may believes weren't even willing to consider.

At the beginning of July it seemed like every day was filled with a new rumor about the negotiations. Lewis Gross, Nylander's agent, is known for these sort of tactics. Recently, however, things have quieted down substantially. A positive sign for the Maple Leafs.

Now approximately a month after the last update on the deal The Leafs Network is reporting that contract talks that has once installed are now back in full swing.





The Maple Leafs are a much better team with Nylander versus without, so find a way to get a deal done makes sense for everyone. The only real question at this point is whether or not the Maple Leafs will allow this to drag into training camp or not.
