Emily Sadler of Sportsnet: Chris Johnston believes that Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas traveling to Switzerland to meet with William Nylander has now put the ball in Nylander court on what he wants to do.
Johnston doesn’t think they’re at the point of ‘trade talk’ but it could be a possibility in the future if they continue to be at a contract impasse.
“They’re looking basically at a short-term deal now, if he’ll sign one of those,” explained Johnston. “And if not, it will get to the point, guys, where I think we’re looking at a trade here.
