William Nylander: Called up by Leafs

Nylander was called up by the Leafs from AHL Toronto on Monday morning and seems likely to make his NHL debut in the evening's game, The Canadian Press reports.

Analysis:

The No. 8 overall pick in 2014, Nylander has been dominant for the Marlies this year, racking up 18 goals and 45 points in 37 games. Although no line assignment has yet been announced, the son of former NHL star Michael Nylander could step immediately into top-six minutes on a Leafs roster that's been thinned out by trades and injuries, making him an enticing fantasy pickup in a wide variety of formats.
