Gord Miller: Spoke with some people around the league yesterday who believe that Shea Theodore’s seven-year contract at a $5.2 million salary cap hit should help the Maple Leafs in their contract impasse with William Nylander. One GM said: “Theodore was #2 in ice time for a team that went to the final. Is Nylander worth more than that?”
Maple Leafs Hot Stove: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas was on Sportsnet 590’s Prime Time Sports yesterday. William Nylander’s restricted free agent status was a hot topic of discussion.
Dubas said that contract talks with Nylander’s agent Lewis Gross continue as they try to find a fair that that fits into their short-term and long-term plans.
