Whilst the salary cap hit would no doubt be steep for the Minnesota Wild, William Nylander has a talent level that rarely is available on the market.
Whether the Toronto Maple Leafs would let him go is a whole different question, but fact is that right now the player remains unsigned.
The first round (8th overall) pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft initially projected to be a center and has had a taste of NHL action in the position. He, however, these days finds himself on the wing of the Leafs’ first line (when not disputing his contract) alongside Auston Matthews.
