The Toronto Maple Leafs need to re-sign William Nylander.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing a difficult situation. They need to find a way to sign their star forward William Nylander to a long-term contract extension without compromising their salary cap situation.
Nylander, who is set to become a free agent after this season, is expected to be paid north of $10 million per year, which would make his one of the richest contracts in the league.
That would be tough to manage for the Toronto Maple Leafs who will be paying Auston Matthews to be the highest paid player in the NHL.
