RUMOUR: Leafs Star Considering Taking a Discount to Stay in Toronto

Initial concerns about Sebastian Aho's signing in Carolina causing troubles for the Maple Leafs have been dismissed with new information.

Nylander's Contract: A Possible Decrease?

The eight-year, $78-million deal inked by Sebastian Aho this morning was believed to establish a pricing standard for William Nylander, who has surpassed Aho's offensive performance and contributes similar value to his team. This led to speculation that Nylander's market value could approach an annual $10 million, a hefty sum for the Leafs. Recent information, however, suggests that Nylander's contract might be less than Aho's.

A Favorable Outcome for the Leafs

This new development is highly beneficial for Leafs management, who may be able to secure Nylander for the long term at a more palatable price.
