The Toronto Maple Leafs announced on Monday that they have signed star forward William Nylander to a new eight-year, $92 million contract.
The contract, whose cap hit of $11.5 million will make Nylander the fifth-highest-paid player, also includes a full no-trade clause without the player’s permission.
In terms of total contract value, it is the highest in the history of a traditional organization. It surpasses John Tavares’ seven-year, $77 million contract. However, Auston Matthews signed a contract with a higher cap-hit – 13.25 million US dollars.
Nylander is in the midst of a career season in which he has already scored 21 goals and added 33 assists in just 37 games. He has a streak of 47 goals and 120 points. Last year, he set personal bests with 40 goals and 87 points.
The twenty-seven-year-old Swede performed evenly even during the elimination fights. In 30 games of the last four playoffs, he recorded 14 goals and 15 assists. In his career, he collected 40 points in 50 games.
