No. 1: Alex Nylander
I know there's probably a 1 percent chance of this happening, but imagine Alex made the NHL roster, played alongside William and they turned into the modern-day Sedin Twins? It would turn out to be one of the greatest bargain signings ever and would be an amazing story for the season.
It's probably not going to happen, but I believe it's worth a shot in the preseason. If Alex is going to succeed in the NHL, playing him alongside his brother gives him the greatest opportunity to do so. In 121 NHL games, Nylander has 25 goals and 49 points, but unfortunately has already played on four rosters.
After being the No. 8 overall pick in 2016, I think many people projected that he'd be as talented as his brother, but that never transpired. I know the AHL is a different league than the NHL but Nylander has proved that he can be very effective in the minors, so I do think he's worth another look at the NHL.
Not only that, but he found a groove with Columbus near the end of last season, finishing with 11 goals in 23 games, so maybe he's a late-bloomer. At this point in his career, if it doesn't work with the Leafs this year, it's tough to say that another team will give him a chance. I'm not saying it's a lock to happen, but I think there's more than a 50/50 chance that Alex and William are playing on the same line on opening night this year.
