According to Swedish paper Aftonbladet, Pär Mårts, head coach of the Swedish men's IIHF team, recently flew to North America to scout William Nylander and a few other Swedish players.
Mårts is scouting Nylander for inclusion on the Swedish team for the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship games, which will be held in Moscow & St. Petersburg from May 6 - 22.
With the Maple Leafs already eliminated from playoff contention, Nylander has the summer free from Leafs hockey commitments. Unless, that is, he's pulled into a long run for the AHL Calder Cup.
