Nylander Continues His Amazing Play Increasing the Buzz on His Contract Extension

William Nylander has been playing outstanding hockey. This is creating even more talk about if the forward will be signing a deal with Toronto, be traded mid-season or even be used as a rental player for the rest of his contract and jump into the free agency pool.

Nick Kypreos made a shocking revelation about Nylander Tuesday afternoon.

"It's trending closer to the Leafs and Willy getting a deal done, is what I hear"

Contract Extension Talks Continue and Could Result in an Agreement Soon

Throughout the season we have read stories and heard about Nylander possibly being traded or getting a contract extension. To date, this is the most substantial information we have hear. Kypreos goes on to say that a deal for a contract extension can be completed before All-Star Weekend, February 1st.

"The other belief is that it will be a number that's over [$11 million]. $11.25 million is the one that is probably mentioned the most. Times eight.

The other thing you gotta consider is that when the Leafs can frontload this and turn it into a $12 or $13 million upfront signing bonus, it's worth a heck of a lot more than $11.25 million. It creates greater value in real money."
