William Nylander will be one of the hottest UFAs of the summer if he remains unsigned after the season ends, and he just dropped a hint where he would like to sign. <h2>Nylander Says Toronto Is A Special Place to Play</h2> William Nylander's contract negotiations have been pretty quiet in Toronto as the season has gone on, with neither side really revealing too much on how it is going.
