- Nylander, in an interview published Thursday, said he will stay in Toronto if the team retools but not for a full rebuild.
- He is signed for six more years at $11.5 million with a full no‑move clause, which means any trade would need his approval.
- After Monday’s dismissal of GM Brad Treliving, CEO Keith Pelley said Tuesday the next hockey boss must be data‑driven and signaled a retool over a rebuild.
- Pelley said the incoming head of hockey operations will decide coach Craig Berube’s future.
- Media shortlists feature analytics‑minded options like Sunny Mehta and former GMs such as Mike Gillis and John Chayka, with some reports pointing to a late‑May target to fill the role.
