Why the New York Rangers need to stay away from William Nylander

William Nylander is one of the games bright young stars who is in the midst of a contract dispute with the Toronto Maple Leafs. As the Leafs struggle to sign him, they might be looking to trade him and the New York Rangers must stay away.

The eighth overall pick in 2014 NHL Entry Draft has appeared in 158 games over the course of three (two full) seasons with Toronto. During that span, he has been one of the more productive players the game has had to offer. He’s scored 135 points, 48 goals, and 87 assists, living up to his hype.
