Last night, when the star player was asked if he wanted to stay in Toronto, he couldn't have expressed his wishes clearer:
William Nylander tonight on the idea of signing long-term:
"That would be a dream to stay here. I mean, to play for such an organization. And I call Toronto home. So I think that'd be a very special feeling."
Then, the following happened:
"Are you close to a deal?
Nylander: «We'll see» smiles."
Players aren't supposed to comment on ongoing negotiations, but his silence, with his smile, are talking a lot. Amid all these rumors, it's possible that Nylander knows that the deal is happening soon, but couldn't talk about it just yet.
All eyes will be turned to Toronto tomorrow. People have been talking about Nylander's deal for a long time now, and if it happens now, it would be a major indicator of the Leafs' future.
Do you think Nylander's signature will be announced on Monday?
