It’s mid-August, and the Toronto Maple Leafs still have yet to re-sign their star young RFA, William Nylander. I’m starting to think I should just re-sign myself to waiting until September before anything happens.
In the meantime, let’s have some fun and theorize what the hold up’s been.
Theory #1: Willy’s gathering his strength.
We all know that Nylander is a descendant of the ancient hero Samson, whose strength was tied to the length of his hair. After playing his first 3 (well... 2.5 really) seasons in the Loubar era, he was forced to keep his epic flow under wraps.
