The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to negotiate a new contract with William Nylander.
Many speculate that Nylander is seeking $10 million or more, and that the Toronto Maple Leafs are trying to stay under $9 million.
The last time the Leafs and Nylander negotiated a new contract, Nylander missed the first two months of the season as he held out for more money.
That $6.9 million per season deal turned out to be a steal, as Nylander has recorded 30 or more goals three times over the past five seasons. He has set career highs in goals and points two years in a row.
