Report: Dubas meeting with Nylander in Switzerland

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas is in Switzerland to meet with restricted free agent William Nylander and his representatives, reports Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun.

Throughout his contract impasse, Nylander's been training in his native Sweden while the Maple Leafs have begun the 2018-19 season with a 6-1 record.

Speculation has run wild about what lies in Nylander's future with the organization, but both sides have stated they'd prefer to come to a long-term agreement rather than a bridge deal.

The Maple Leafs currently have over $11 million in projected cap space for this season, per CapFriendly, but will face a significant squeeze beginning next year when the entry-level contracts of Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner expire.

In his first two full campaigns in the NHL, Nylander recorded back-to-back 61-point seasons.
