Recently on BPM Sports, journalist Mathias Brunet discussed an extremely interesting possibility for the Montreal Canadiens.

What if Kent Hughes manages to sign star player William Nylander? He would be our Artemi Panarin, similar to the successful rebuild of the New York Rangers.

"Should William Nylander become available on the free agent market, would the Canadiens show interest?

Mathias Brunet believes so. Do you agree that he fits into the plans?"

- BPM Sports

See his explanations here.

According to several experts, Nylander would command a salary of 10 million dollars for 7 years, so that's 70 million that Kent Hughes should offer him.

Would you do it?

Nylander, 27 years old, is the top scorer for the Leafs this season with 34 points in 25 games.

Last season, he accumulated 87 points.
