In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the news on William Nylander is starting to look less than ideal. Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames will likely speak with Nazem Kadri about his desire to be moved this season and there are already teams reaching out in regards to his availability. Finally, is an Eastern Conference contender making it known they are big-game hunting this season and looking to take a huge swing? Nylander Remains Out, Maple Leafs’ Plans for Woll Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports, “Unclear as of yet if William Nylander will rejoin the Leafs lineup on Tuesday night. Nylander wasn’t a full participant at today’s practice. He sat out chunks of drills, rotating sporadically onto the top line. He did rejoin PP1 during the special teams portion of practice.” Nylander’s missing time for Toronto is hugely problematic. The team is off to an up-and-down start, and he’s leading the team with 14 points in eight games. The Leafs looked at him as a potential fit on a struggling top line. With him out, head coach Craig Berube is back to looking for solutions. Meanwhile, Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving says the team’s focus is on getting Joseph Woll fully up to speed. Woll won’t be speaking with the media on Monday, but has been skating every other day over the past few weeks. It’s likely he’ll see some conditioning games with the Marlies before returning to NHL action. Trade Future of Nazem Kadri Darren Dreger discussed the potential future of Nazem Kadri with the Calgary Flames, noting that it’s likely the organization and the forward will start talking about a possible move this season.
