It’s time for Jim Hiller to slash William Nylander’s ice time

Editor In Leaf's Jeremy Franks argues that Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Jim Hiller must reduce star winger William Nylander's ice time. With Toronto dropping four consecutive games on their homestand and sitting near the bottom of the Atlantic Division through 20 games, Franks contends Hiller needs to hold his underperforming veteran stars accountable.

Franks highlights that Nylander has managed only one goal and a minus-seven rating during the four-game stretch, while also going shotless in a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Additionally, the writer suggests starting goaltender Anthony Stolarz over Sergei Bobrovsky and giving younger players like Easton Cowan and Gavin McKenna larger roles.
