Like Auston Matthews, Nylander has one year left on his contract. Unlike Matthews, he isn’t in the elite-of-the-elite tier of players where a team unequivocally can’t afford to lose him, nor does he play a premium position. That means there should be a cut-off point after which the club should move on.
Nylander’s current value & next contract

Nylander is a high-end offensive player who just finished in the top 20 in total goals scored and points last season. This is the second season in a row that Nylander has set a career-high in goals and points, and he has only missed one game over those two seasons.
