Nylander breaks his silence on contract negotiations, says there have been no recent talks with Leafs
There's been a ton of dialogue surrounding William Nylander this summer and whether or not he'll sign, enter the season without an extension in place or perhaps even be moved to another team. As far as what Nylander wants, he made it very clear to the media today that he wants to be in Toronto.
Several media members were in Stockholm, Sweden on Wednesday as a part of the European Media Tour. NHL.com's Tom Gulitti took to social media this afternoon to share what Nylander had to say about his current contract status, where his head is at right now ahead of the season and whether or not he had had any preliminary contract conversations with Kyle Dubas before his departure from the organization back in May.
Nylander also mentioned that the topic had never even been discussed with Kyle Dubas before his departure, confirming that there were no preliminary discussions about a potential contract extension had Dubas stuck around.
If Nylander does enter this season without a contract extension in place, I'm sure there will be quite the stir in the media from the start of training camp straight through until he finally puts pen to paper on his new deal.
