It's even reported that Toronto might be ready to invest the astronomical sum of $11.25M for number 88. This is quite astounding, especially considering that the organization is already spending over $10M annually on three other players: Auston Matthews, John Tavares, and Mitch Marner.
Fortunately for the Leafs, the salary cap will increase by $4M, going from $83.5M to $87.5M next year. Nevertheless, with Nylander's potential new signing, the organization will allocate over 53% of its salary cap to four players.
