William Nylander is playing tonight! The whole contract debacle ended Saturday at 4:57 PM and after hearing some things from Nylander and Kyle Dubas about the process, we wanted to know when he was going to play. And now we know.
It’s the ‘rust’ or ‘getting back up to speed’ factor concerning his first game back. Maybe the Leafs should’ve waited until Saturday and have Nylander make his season debut in Boston against his good buddy David Pastrnak. Perhaps they give him another couple of days and start him against the Hurricanes. You know, the team he was “almost” traded to.
