Make no mistake, William Nylander has been the early season MVP for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nylander, along with goaltender Joseph Woll, are the main reasons the Toronto Maple Leafs have been able to accumulate points while playing less-than-inspiring hockey.
Getting the star winger extended garnered lots of attention during the Leafs offseason and continues to be a storyline now.
While both sides haven’t revealed much about any potential contract discussions (that’s probably a positive sign), it’s doubtful a new deal is imminent.
At this point, it is in the Leafs best interest to wait it out.
