William Nylander gives ultimatum to Leafs

Nylander had a breakout season, reaching 40 goals for the first time in his career, making him the leading goal scorer for the Leafs and second overall in points. However, his contract is set to expire next summer, and it appears that he and the new Toronto general manager Brad Treliving have not made significant progress towards a new deal, despite Auston Matthews agreeing to a new four-year extension.

According to The Athletic, Nylander has given his agent instructions to continue negotiating with the Leafs during the regular season, but not to approach him on those negotiations until they're all but wrapped up.
