Why the Leafs are playing Nylander at centre to start camp



TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joins Mark Masters to discuss the Leafs’ decision to start William Nylander at centre to start training camp, why his contract situation didn’t feel like a distraction on day one, and the chances Matt Murray will play for Toronto this season.

  1. hard to think that having calle jarnkrok on your line isnt a demotion.

  2. Third line center who won’t benefit from mariner or Matthew’s scoring ability to pad his stats. GM is playing hardball with Nylanders camp 😂

  3. Having Willy as a third center is a joke. He is a top line player in most NHL teams except Toronto. It is just disrespectful to his talent. If I were him I would not resign in Toronto. If you want defensive player that can not score you can easily get a hole line of them for the same price as Willy.

  4. Tried this with vanRiemsdyk and that ended after 1 period 😂😂😂 this is to devalue his ask of 10mil.

  5. Because they are trying to drive his numbers down for the start of the year to have him sign for cheaper.

  6. amazing how sports media has nothing to talk about, so they end up speculating the same thing over and over and over… and then when that thing has disappear, and nylander signs or whatever.. they move on the the next thing.. "matthews contract ends in 2028, wil he extend in toronto? what is going to happen? bla..bla…"
