Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] F Alex Nylander signs with the Maple Leafs (1 year, $775k)

[Jared Dunn]

When we send him down eventually he'll probably get picked up which will suck for him. He'd rather be in the AHL rather than another NHL city.

If it's a two way deal I'm sure he'll manage to sleep with the extra couple hundred thousand he makes

 

[Leafidelity]

Very curious to see if having his brother yelling at him will work out; Willy is a gamer.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Hopefully it goes better than the last time the two Nylander's played together. Willy got concussed in the first 10 mins of the WJC.

Does he have to go through waivers? Either for the marlies or leafs?
How does that work?

He is a Leaf at this moment. If he gets sent to the Marlies he will have to pass through waivers.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Just a warm body to keep a seat warm while the half of the forwards are on IR/LTIR.

Don't forget the Reaves suspension

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not a surprise, they need bodies.

I'll trade you 1 hardly used Laine for a Nylander, u pick.

 

[winnipegger]

Slim chance he sticks. Players generally don't break out at his age. Would be fun though.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Another NHL contract, good for him

 

[Seras]

Finally he can stop pretending that he can't play hockey, the mission has been completed and it was a success

 

[crowi]

I wonder what it feels like when your bro is making tens of millions and you're just hanging on to your dear life in the league. Talent is not divided equally.

Another Leaf broke out at age 27 and is on the roster doing well so you never know. Different playing styles though

 

[DitchMarner]

The hope is Willy will push his ass, otherwise hes on the next flight back to sweden permanently.

Like this?

Had a very good start with Columbus last year.
