The Toronto Maple Leafs have recently dropped off the news charts following a very eventful start to their offseason in free agency, but they have been dealing with some internal issues within their own star players.
William Nylander Frontrunners Reported
With the inability to get a contract extension done between Nylander and the Maple Leafs, the possibility of a trade has become more and more popular throughout the league.
Per "Eklund" of HockeyBuzz, there are now three frontrunner teams in the sweepstakes to complete a trade with the Leafs to acquire the Swedish scoring star.
Reportedly, it is the New York Islanders, Washington Capitals, and the Anaheim Ducks that have the highest chances of trading for Nylander.
All three teams have the need for a player of Nylander's archetype, but it appears to be that the Islanders are in front of the others.
Islanders Use Same Trade Offer As Reported DeBrincat Package
In the report, it seems to be the Isles in front to get a deal done, as they would almost certainly be offering the same return package that they apparently offered for new Detroit Red Wings star
Alex DeBrincat.
With the rumors of Nylander being moved from Toronto gradually increasing, all that is left to do is wait and see what Brad Treliving decides to do next.
