William Nylander is currently entering the final year of his contract and will look for a massive pay raise. As of now, he remains unsigned but Leafs fans are hopeful of a new contract.
Insider Chris Johnson provided the latest.
While it is unknown what Nylander's contract will be, we do know that it will be a massive raise. The Leafs have made it clear they want Nylander for as long as possible but with more term comes more money.
Reports have come out that Nylander wants 8 figures on his next contract which would be massive. While the Leafs have balked at this concept, if Nylander can take another step, they may need to cough up the 8-figure sum.
If Nylander does not prove he wants to stay in Toronto, then Brad Treliving's hand will be forced.
