The Nylander brothers love spending time with each other during the summer, where they engage in various family activities, and no doubt some weight training to ensure they stay in shape for the season.
Now, William posted a video on his Instagram showing his brother Alex's strength, really praising him, and potentially sending Maple Leafs management a message that they should acquire him.
A reunion of the Nylander brothers in Toronto would be pretty cool. Alex has the potential to breakout, although he likely won't ever be the superstar his brother William is, but he still has good potential. He would be a low-risk, high reward signing.
Alex also knows his brother's character as they workout together in the off-season, so there would already be some sort of chemistry there. Also, playing with your family is usually extra motivation to really get productivity up.
Should the Leafs sign Alex, it would likely be for the league minimum, or very close to that. The Leafs could be willing to chance it, especially that if it doesn't work out, it wouldn't have cost them too much.
