William Nylander Fires Shots at Kyle Dubas After Signing Massive Extension

William Nylander's blockbuster contract announcement yesterday came with all the media attention you might expect when announcing the largest contract in Leaf history. Nylander was all smiles during practice and repeatedly called Toronto home during his post-practice media scrum.

In another interview on the Kyper and Bourne show on Sportsnet, Nylander had some subtle undertones of shots at Kyle Dubas, pointing out that he was happy the negotiations didn't take as long as last time.

Clearly, bringing this up without even being prompted has some hints that Nylander is taking a bit of a shot at former GM Kyle Dubas and the handling of his previous contract.

Nylander has been having an all-time and potentially all-star-worthy season this year, scoring 54 points in 37 games. The pressure of the contract year hasn't seemed to get to him at all, and now with the deal done, we will see if it gets to him tonight against the San Jose Sharks.

As for his teammates, they believe he has the confidence to succeed in Toronto with the pressure.
