According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, while appearing on 630 CHED with Bob Stauffer, things have stalled, and it's something to watch; take a look.
The quote is as follows regarding Nylander:
Amid speculation that the Leafs want to sign both Matthews and Nylander to extensions, there's a realization that signing Nylander not be possible.
Nylander, 27, skated in all 82 games for Toronto last season and set a career high in goals (40), assists (47) and points (87) and it's becoming more and more likely that he's priced himself out of Toronto.
We'll see how things play out over the off-season, but I wouldn't be surprised if by mid season, they look to trade Nylander before he walks on the open market for nothing
