Were there times where you were wondering if you would be pulling on a Leafs jersey this year?
Nylander: To me, I always wanted to be here and that was not a question for me throughout the entire process. It was a long negotiation to get to where both sides were happy.
You know what it takes to be ready to play in this league. Do you think you are there right now?
Nylander: It’s always, at the beginning of the season… now I am kind of coming into training camp.
