    Maple Leafs, Nylander Agree to Deal

    The Toronto Maple Leafs have gotten their season off to a fine start, despite the absence of star center William Nylander over the season’s first two months. Nylander, a restricted free agent, had been holding out for a new contract. Fortunately for both sides, they were able to beat the December 1st deadline and get a long-term deal done.

    The 22-year old will be making $6.9 million annually over the next six years under the new deal. Nylander performed exceptionally last season, tying a career high with 61 total points. Given his restricted free agent designation, the Leafs had the right to match any offer other teams made. Not to be short-changed, Nylander held out to get the deal he felt he deserved. With their star center back in the fold, Toronto should get an added boost as they continue to battle in the competitive Atlantic Division. Through December 3rd, the team sat second in the division standings at 19-8-0 (38 points), three points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning.

    Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.
