Chris Nichols of Nichols on Hockey: Darren Dreger was on TSN 1050 radio talking about the report that a KHL team has a ‘strong interest’ in Toronto Maple Leafs restricted free agent William Nylander. Interest isn’t as high as $7 million, but it is around there.
“Right, and none of this should be surprising,” began Dreger. “The KHL often will look at NHL players, particularly NHL players without contracts – and Nylander doesn’t have one of those – and of course they would have some interest. The question is does William Nylander have the type of interest whereby this is going to go anywhere.
