Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star: William Nylander’s camp is reportedly looking for around $8 million a season, with the Toronto Maple Leafs ranging from as low as $5 million up to $7.5 million depending on the term of the deal.
The Maple Leafs might be looking at a short-term deal in the two to four years, with Nylander looking for six to eight years.
The contracts of Nikita Zaitsev and Patrick Marleau, and the future contracts of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and maybe Jake Gardiner are making it harder for the Leafs to fit in a big Nylander contract.
