“Nylanders season is cut by the coach”
“Babcock: ”He needs to go away now…””
“William Nylander had a tough season in the NHL.”
“When coach Mike Babcock comments on the hearts of swedes bet he is brutally honest:”
“– He was not a good player this season, ” he says.”
“the Season is over for the Toronto Maple Leafs.”
“There were irregularities in the first round against the Boston Bruins (3-4 in the league).”
“Afterwards, the focus is against William Nylander.”
“The Swedish 22-year-old – who missed the 27 initial matches because of the protracted contract negotiations – did ”only” 27 points (7+20) in their 54 grundseriematcher and singled out now as one of the largest flopparna.”
” I was not near my maximum limit. I have higher demands on myself, I know that things will get better in the future, ” he said to Sportsnet.”
“Nylander think kontraktstvisten affected him negatively.”
“” I have never been in a similar situation before. I mean, I trained alone for several months. It was just weird. It is something I regret with hindsight. I would have been here (in Toronto) from the beginning of the season, ” says Nylander.”
“the Club’s general manager Kyle Dubas takes on a part of the debt.”
“– We did not solve it before the training camp, we did not solve it to the start of the season … we did not solve it until three minutes before the deadline. It is unacceptable. We did not direct William the conditions for success, ” he says.”
“Coach Mike Babcock is brutally honest when he evaluates the Nylanders season.”
“– ”Willy” is a cruel guy and he can become a really good player. But this season, he was not a good player. It know he, we must be honest and say it, ” says Babcock.”
“Now he wants to Nylander leaving Toronto bad quickly (maybe in order to play the world CUP with Sweden?) and sort of thoughts.”
” He must be from here, he needs to go home, recharge the batteries, start training hard and get back to their game. It will be an important summer for Nylander, because we need to get him back in the good shot, ” says Mike Babcock.”
