Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander could be set to become the team's second-highest paid player with his next contract.
The Maple Leafs could offer Nylander an eight-year, $11.25 AAV extension this season, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Dreger believes that an eight-year extension could increase to as high as $11.5 million per year.
"I don't doubt for a second that it is top priority for the Maple Leafs to get this guy extended," Dreger said Wednesday on TSN 1050. "It's getting to the place where I think he can appreciate as a star player, he's likely earned it.
