Nylander can make more money elsewhere, but it comes down to pressure, and in Toronto there is none
Toronto Maple Leafs right wing William Nylander looks on during a game against the Washington Capitals, in Washington, on Oct. 24.. Somewhere around 105 points, second to Boston in the Atlantic, play Tampa in the first round. Am I getting warm?
He’s put up points in every game. More than that, there’s the eye test. Auston Matthews looks dangerous when he’s in his spots. Nylander looks dangerous everywhere. Except Nylander’s not going to leave. Why would he? He’s never going to have it this easy anywhere else. On the other hand, he can stay where he is, still make a packet, hide in the herd and keep on doing what he’s been doing.It has become an article of faith that, save Montreal, there is no tougher place to play in the NHL than this city. And not just in the NHL, in all of sport.Pressure implies that you must succeed or else. Or else what?
Hockey players feel more pressure in Anaheim or New Jersey. Failure in those cities has a visible effect – it’s staring you in the face in the form of empty seats. In Toronto, it always looks as though the team is winning. Whether it is immaterial.
