So the Toronto Maple Leafs got pasted by the Boston Bruins last night to the tune of 5-1, but that isn’t what had me the most interested (the Leafs are on the second night of a back to back, on the road, without Matthews, Andersen, or Nylander... meh).
What really caught my attention came during Sportsnet’s intermission segment, “Headlines”, where Elliotte Friedmen and Nick Kypreos dropped a couple of bombs that go against some of the popular narrative surrounding the Nylander contract talks.
You see, until now what we’ve all heard is how William Nylander was reportedly asking for $8M+ AAV for a long term deal, and was almost paranoid about being traded.
