The Maple Leafs have recalled William Nylander from MODO; he is expected to join the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

The Maple Leafs must have liked what they saw from Nylander at the World Juniors in Toronto and are recalling him to get him playing on the smaller ice surface. The 18-year-old forward registered 20 points (8G / 12A) in 21 games with MODO.

Injury

Nylander is in camp on a tryout. Every day he is not on the ice only compounds his difficulty making this roster.

Nylander likely does not earn a contract due to his injury. He last played in the NHL for the 2008-2009 season when he scored nine goals and 33 points over 72 games.

Talbot-Nylander-Simmonds.

Although Nylander is a natural fit as Jagr's center, the Flyers will try him in a checking role. The more options the veteran gives them, the more comfortable the team would be in signing him.
