An exciting William Nylander update ahead of Maple Leafs training camp

Nylander, as he does every summer, spent the off-season traveling, training and visiting family and friends back home in Sweden. The Leafs winger is coming off of a sensational year, in which he tied his career high of 40 goals, and produced a career high 98 points, playing in all 82 games in the regular season.

Not only has Nylander spent a lot of time this summer keeping his body finely tuned, which should ease his transition from off-season to training camp, but it looks like the 28-year-old has returned to Toronto earlier than expected.

Nylander took part in a photoshoot with the iconic Canadian brand Sherwood Hockey this week to promote their new Feather Lite XT hockey stick. Nylander has been endorsed by Sherwood for years.

Nylander is entering the first season of an 8-year pact, which will see him earn $11.5M through the 2031-32 season. It's important for him to remain as impactful and productive as he has been over the last 2 seasons, given his lofty cap hit. In a market like Toronto, any regression will lead to intense scrutiny, but let's face it; Nylander has shown time and time again that he's not affected by the noise and the pressure to perform in Toronto.
