There is lots of talk about William Nylander, and it's trending close to the Leafs and Willy getting a deal done is what I hear. General feeling amongst both sides is that they'd like to get a deal done before NHL All-Star Weekend.
The other belief is that it will be a number that is over 11. 11.25 is the one that is probably mentioned the most...times eight.

If this prediction is correct, that would make four players on the Maple Leafs earning over $10 million per season, and given their talent up front, it would make 2023-24 Stanley Cup or bust for this team.
Nylander is on pace for a career season, and will be rewarded
Despite rumors that he may be eyeing a partnership with Connor Bedard, this report states that he could remain in Toronto for what would be close to the rest of his career, with over $11 million annually despite never hitting 100 points in a season.
This year however, Nylander has tallied 48 points in just 34 games, and with his breakout year, it may be the difference that this team needs to make a deep playoff run, and if he can stay at this level, it's hard to say that he hasn't earned a deal like this.
