Dreger Releases Final Details of Nylander's Deal in Toronto
Dreger basically confirmed Nylander's signature and added interesting details:
Darren Dreger confirmed that the signature is imminent:
"Look, it's imminent, right? Whether it's today or tomorrow, that will be determined by Brad Treliving and Lewis Gross as they tidy up the final details... the heavy lifting is complete and I maintain that the AAV is going to be north of $11M and I'd be surprised if it's not $11.5M"
Dreger didn't want to share false numbers, so he said the Leafs' would go higher than $11M.
He also noted that Nylander's eight-year deal would give the Leafs' Nylander's best years.
"Toronto is literally getting William Nylander in his prime. They're paying for it - at $11.5M, it's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. But they're getting his best years in this deal." - Dreger on Nylander
Later, he shared further informations:
"See how the rest of the morning evolves, but as speculated the Maple Leafs are closing in on what is believed to be an 8 year, $92 million extension for William Nylander. Still a bit of work getting done."
Chris Johnston added more details:
"This will be the largest contract in #leafs history by total value. Expect it to include a full no-movement clause and favourable bonus structuring."
An official announcement by the Maple Leafs organization should come soon. Stay tuned.
