Elliotte Friedman reveals weird update on Nylander's disappearance
The renowned insider Elliotte Friedman revealed a weird update on William Nylander's disappearance for the first game of the playoffs.
With Nylander missing the first game of the series against the Boston Bruins, but playing all 82 games of the regular season, there's been a lot of speculation about his mysterious injury.
The Leafs' management didn't shy away from resting their players in the last few games for them to be at 100% for the playoffs. Max Domi, Morgan Rielly and Joel Edmundson missed games, but not Nylander.
The Swedish forward finished the season at 98 points and could've been insisting to play all games to reach 100 points. However, that possibility was dismissed by Friedman on 32 Thoughts, who doesn't think it could've happened.
"This is weird," admitted Friedman. "To me this whole thing is weird and I'm just curious to see where it all plays out. I have theories, but I just don't believe at this time of year you should guess on injuries unless you absolutely 1 billion percent know what they are."
