Almost Done Deal: insider reveals leafs are on the verge of trading their talent for super signing

The Toronto Maple Leafs may have to sacrifice William Nylander for superstar Connor McDavid, according to an NHL insider.

The Leafs are holding off on signing Nylander because they’re thinking about McDavid, insiders say.

In a recent report, an NHL insider explained why the Toronto Maple Leafs are delaying the long-term signing of William Nylander. Interestingly, this seems to have something to do with the possible appearance of Connor McDavid. Inside information from Connor McDavid in Toronto

Leafs are cautious about signing William Nylander to a long-term deal. Initially, they relied on short-term restrictions because they were making onerous and expensive contracts, but insiders give strategic reasons. The Leafs appear to be keeping their options open if Connor McDavid becomes available in the next few years.

According to insiders, the desire to bring Connor McDavid to Toronto is no secret. Sources said pressure played a big role in their reluctance to sign William Nylander to a long-term deal. Sources noted that while McDavid could be a good fit for anyone available, it would be financially impossible to add McDavid with Nylander’s significant cap space, especially when he is worth more than $10 million per year . This discovery could be a decisive turning point. It’s hard to imagine Connor McDavid wearing anything other than an Oilers uniform, but the connection between Toronto and the current state of the Oilers leaves room for unexpected possibilities.
