Trade Buzz Heats Up in Toronto as William Nylander's File Stalls

The Toronto Maple Leafs have managed to keep busy all summer long, and in the midst of all their moves, they've reportedly continued to work on deals with both Auston Matthews and William Nylander.

Big deals incoming?

The team can reportedly get a deal for both done, but TSN's Dave Feschuk has now reported that if one, likely Nylander comes into training camp un-signed, a deal could be made as to stop a distraction.



While there's a chance that Matthews isn't signed by that point either, given how much more valuable he has been to the team since arriving in 2016, it's likely that he will be given a bit more patience by the team.

Nylander on the way out?

The obvious best choice scenario here would be to lock Nylander in long-term, the Leafs could benefit from some cap relief, and given his high expectations for salary on his next deal, that could contribute to a move as well.


The 2023-24 NHL season is less than two months away, and it appears GM Brad Treliving still has plenty of work to do, and if this report is accurate, this team could look very different come October.
