Lamoriello to meet with Swedish IHA chair about Nylander's health

Swedish newspaper Expressen reports that decisions about William Nylander's participation in the World Junior Championship will be "delayed until match day."

Lou Lamoriello will be in Helsinki on Saturday morning, and will meet with Swedish Ice Hockey Association vice chair Peter Forsberg about Nylander as well as other issues.

"We've decided to get together and talk about a lot of different things, and how to communicate when Toronto decides to release him. It is entirely amicable," Forsber said. "I've had contact with [Lou] now several times since William was injured. Toronto is very pleased with how we have handled it all, and how we have been working with the information from our doctors and theirs.
