With trade rumors swirling, the Avalanche should make a strong offer for Toronto’s William Nylander

By now, we all know the situation involving the Toronto Maple Leafs and their star winger William Nylander. The restricted free agent still remains unsigned even as we get closer and closer to the hard deadline of December 1st — the day that Nylander must be signed in order to play in the NHL this season.

Until now, the Leafs have maintained the stance that they are not interested in anything other than signing the 22-year-old. As of this weekend, it appears as though that has changed.

Saturday night, Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada reported that Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas has informed other teams to not only let him know who is interested in trading for Nylander, but to prepare formal offers.
