Nylander's Future In Toronto Could Be Decided Tomorrow

William Nylander is not close to a contract extension with the Leafs which could see them ship him off for future assets come draft day.

Leafs Could Move Nylander On Draft Day

With the Leafs future uncertain with no Matthews or Nylander extension, many are starting to speculate on the possibility of the Leafs moving on from William Nylander due to his high contract demands.

On TSN's Overdrive, analyst Dave Poulin joined the show and dropped some major information regarding Nylander.




Marner is currently paid a hair under $11 million a year and is elite defensively while also producing 100-point paces on a consistent basis. Nylander is not that. With Matthews due for a major payday, we could watch Nylander get traded tomorrow in exchange for a top pick.

A team that could be a good trade partner for the Leafs is the Washington Capitals. Washington wants to remain competitive while Alex Ovechkin is around and Nylander would give them an elite player who could dish out passes to Ovi.

They currently hold the 8th pick and are rumored to be willing to ship Tom Wilson for the right cost. Could they be the fit that is willing to pay Nylander what he thinks he is worth?
