Another first-round exit for the Toronto Maple Leafs, means more trade rumours.
Nylander is used to it by now as he didn't shy away from mentioning it.
«My summer will be the same,» Nylander said Tuesday about his future with the team. «That's all I've heard since I've been here.»
Stephane Waite, former Canadiens goalie coach revealed how the Leafs have reportedly been trying to trade Nylander for the past two years. This is how he explained it, translated from French, in the last edition of the podcast:
«As for Nylander, by the way, he's been on the market for two years! They haven't been able to get rid of him for two years. They will have to be very imaginative to succeed in getting rid of him!»
That's a well-known fact that the winger has been constantly placed on the trade block by fans since signing that six-year contract back in 2018, but it remains surprising that the Leafs would have attempted so many times to move him without success.
