Pretty cool, right? The kid offers to pay out of his own pocket for Leafs fans who want an updated jersey. Even cooler, it looks like Nylander will be shelling out some cash to his boss, Leafs president Brendan Shanahan.

Check out Shanahan’s reaction to the news on Twitter, complete with a photo of his son who happens to be a huge Nylander fan:

You’re paying??? Thank God! #cashmoney #LeafsForever https://t.co/gpo7Lfnn4b pic.twitter.com/RuA0P1pD2j
