Steve Dangle analyzes the Toronto Marlies decision to sign F Alex Nylander to a 1-year contract. Does this mean he will play for the Toronto Maple Leafs at some point? What could this mean for his brother William Nylander? Steve breaks down all that and more here.

Steve just made a 10 minute video about a Marlie. Holy july
Knies – Auston – Domi
McMann – JT – Mitch
Alex Nylander – Pontus – Willy
Jarnkrok – Kampf – Dewar/Reaves
Not bad 🤔 kinda fun 🤪
These are off the top of my head and with the idea that Robertson isn’t back.
Alex Killorn… WYD THERE had me crying
You came to your senses finally lol
Nylander > Nylander
I wish it was an nhl deal for the vibes realistically he probably isn't right for the leafs
This is a favour to Willy. All that will happen is that Alex will rent Willy’s basement.
keep the july content coming – really missing the season at the moment!
So… we could potentially… potentially see the brothers together in the NHL?
Kinda sounds like the type of guy an NHL team keeps hidden away in the A while they're trying to figure stuff out on the main team, but once they have whatever it is figured out (its the Leafs so read IF), they bring him up and he goes weeeeeeeeee
uuuhhhh i dont understand if he doesnt make the leafs who gives a …………
You know it’s July when….
I personally am hoping he rediscovers the confidence that allowed him to at one point be considered likely to be better then Willy. That has long gone out the window but I think having brothers that play together is a wonderful thing so I hope he plays well enough to get the deal. I do think that deal is more dependent on Jani H and weather he can play and if a trade for Robertson materializes or not. If not I imagine Robertson would resign by the time regular season rolls around as he isn’t likely to sit out the whole season just to not sign a 1 year contract or something with the leafs.
I'm assuming it's basically a PTO with the ability to sign a NHL contract if he proves himself at any point.
who cares
Nylander – Domi – Nylander line about to SCARY next season…………. scary defensively that is 😬😬😬
He scored 11 goals in 23 games with the Blue Jackets. And they did this just to lock him up. He will be on the Leafs when they move things around. He can be signed to an NHL contract at any time.
Guy is very inconsistent, no defenseive skill. Remember when you guys lost to Boston and Marner didnt even bother to check the guy to slow the play down, expect that with Alex. You got another version of Marner who isn't as good and isn't consistent. Enjoy his AHL games, if you bring him up, don't expect much
Wooo! Ask and reSteve! Lol this is exactly what we wanted 😊
Bye Bye Nick Robertson. Meet your replacement.
Respect to Producer Drew… nice touch at the end 😂🤣😂🤣
If you know the player wants to be in Toronto and you want depth without using cap space and you also don't have picks to get guys mid season, you get Alex Nylander.
Dont think you can really say hes good when he was good for like 20 games in like 5 seasons
Collect the Nylanders…Lol
As a Canuck fan, we've collected the brothers for some of the greats of the game(ie Steve Kariya, Fedor Federov), but they weren't even close in skill level to their brothers…
Go camping Steve.
As a CBJ fan, I really hate that we just let this guy walk. He seemed to come into his own here, and it sucks that we won't get to see if that would have continued.
Hope he's able to get back into the NHL sooner rather than later.
He played well in Chicago the first year but he did not get enough ice time but his points showed he can put up points
Its rinse and repeat but with a little fabric softener
Just 72 days until hockey is back🤣 Maybe we will hear about Janni Hakanpaa by then.
Royal Winter Fair in November. Boat show is in January, but Steve's point is made
Justin Holl, for how he played and at that cap hit – he was actually a bargain for the Leafs. He played above his cap hit.
I'm very much in the boat of that I think he dosen't deserve to be in the AHL and this is a move to make Willy happy. Alex Nylander should be in the NHL
4:03 i remember taking a school trip to the boat show.
After a while of walking around and "absorbing educational material", me and a few classmates stumbled into an oval area with a bunch of seats.
Not being from Toronto or keeping up with the marlies a whole lot at the time, i thought: "huh, this kinda looks like an arena". I surveyed the area a bit: "hey those look like marlies logo's, and i recognize some of those names….. WHOLLY ****! Is this the marlies arena?! THEY MADE THE ARENA A POOL?!"
That was my first time being in there and it wasn't even for a game, just a wrong turn at a boat show. The only one that cared was me, my classmates were more interested in talking about how they hoped one of the people on kayaks (fitting i mention that here), would fall in the water so they could laugh.
Anywho, thanks for the memory refresher 👍
Story continues he immediately went to the grocery store & bought a dozen eggs to balance on his shoulder so he can practice skating without breaking them !! Just like his brother !!
Love it! Can't wait to watch preseason! Hopefully they play on a line together! No Brainer!
My bet is this is a backup incase Robert doesn't re-sign
I think its easy to say this is irrelevant based on Ho Sang and Bellows not signing, but I’d see Nylander has much higher upside than either of those guys(I still really wish Bellows got a shot). Could be a nice chemistry add to play some games if injuries happen, and its 0 risk, good move Braaaaad
alex nylander has spent a lot more time as an AHLer than an NHLer lately. he had a fluke hot streak with columbus
it makes me happy you prounouce wilkes-barre right steve _/ _/
Gosh we’re so dry for hockey content this is what we have.
And I’m ok with it. lol
Where's the Marlie's Minute guy when you need him?!
Steve, the boat Show is in January
