After ongoing contract negotiations, Nylander and the Maple Leafs have agreed to terms on an eight-year, $92 million contract extension ($11.5 AAV). The 27-year-old Nylander has steadily seen his production increase in the last three seasons, arguably being the Maple Leafs' most dynamic player at times, and is currently pacing for a career-best 120-point season.
