With September looming, William Nylander's contract extension discussions with the Maple Leafs remain in limbo.
Despite a year left on his current contract, fans are growing restless for a resolution that won't overshadow training camp. In a recent interview, Nylander expressed no rush in finalizing the deal.
Treliving's Indirect Jab
The spotlight shifted to Brad Treliving, who contrasted his successful Auston Matthews contract negotiation. Treliving's straightforward response indirectly took a dig at Nylander:
"This got done because Auston decided he wanted to get it done."
Treliving's remark subtly underlines his belief that Nylander could have acted similarly.
This insight reveals Treliving's perspective on Nylander's negotiation approach, indicating potential tensions between player and management.
