Auston Matthews sent a subtle shot to William Nylander in a recent interview. <h2>Matthews' Slight Jab at Nylander</h2> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/302985.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> It's been hard to miss the spotlight shining on Auston Matthews this past week. After inking his major deal with the Maple Leafs, all eyes were on him during his press conference. But among the questions and Matthews' answers, there was a hint of shade thrown towards his teammate William Nylander. When quizzed about Nylander's laid-back demeanor and if Matthews would like all his colleagues to adopt such a cool approach, this was his response: <q>To an extent, for sure. He is not a fan of Willy's chilly nature at all times</q> <h2>The Nylander Contract </h2> This comment might just be an underlying hint at the ongoing contract saga involving Nylander. While players like Matthews commit early to the Leafs, Nylander seems to be taking his sweet time with the contract talks. His seemingly relaxed stance on contract negotiations suggests he doesn't see it as a pressing issue. But the clock's ticking, and the Leafs might find themselves in a tight spot if Nylander doesn't budge from his demands. If he doesn't see eye to eye with what the Leafs are offering, the team might have no choice but to trade him to another suitor. It's a waiting game now. Will Nylander decide to cement his future with the Leafs or will he opt to play elsewhere? <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LeafsRag/status/1695684443690676498?s=20'> </a></blockquote></div> As seen on Hockey Patrol - <a href='https://www.hockeypatrol.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/Auston-Matthews-Takes-A-Subtle-Shot-At-William-Nylander' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Matthews Takes A Subtle Shot At Nylander</a>
