source – ‘William Nylander is willing to negotiate with the Maple Leafs during the season’ – Jonas Siegel – The Athletic – Nylander could score 50 goals and post 100 points this season, which would only raise his price tag heading into a summer when he might be the top available free agent. Ideally, the Leafs entice Nylander to stay well before next summer, even if it costs them more than they would like. This unconventional stance, as pointed out by Jonas Siegel of The Athletic, suggests that Nylander likely has a specific contract figure in mind.
