William Nylander has expressed intentions to retire in Stockholm, where he wishes to settle down, although he also considers Toronto a home. His connection to Toronto has grown over a decade, making it the longest he has lived in one place. However, he cherishes returning to Stockholm for family and friends. Nylander is still performing at a high level and holds a seven-year contract with the Maple Leafs, indicating he has several years ahead in his NHL career before retirement becomes imminent.
"Yes, 100 percent. This is home," Nylander said when asked if Stockholm would be his long-term base after retirement. "Toronto is home in the same way. I love being in both places."
"I've considered Toronto home for 10 years, that's the longest I've lived in one place in my entire life. But here in Stockholm, you have all your family and all your friends, so I love coming back home and seeing them."
"Stockholm is the place where I want to put my roots down, despite living longer in Toronto than I have in the Swedish capital city."
Nylander should still have several solid years of productive hockey ahead of him, and that's not even mentioning that he still has seven years remaining on his contract with the Maple Leafs.
