If you've spent any time watching William Nylander playing this season for the Toronto Maple Leafs, it'd be pretty easy to make the case that he's the best he's ever looked.While he's 19 points of his career-high 98 points achieved last season with just eight games left for Toronto, one could argue that this has been Nylander's most dynamic offensive year yet.With a career-high 42 goals, which sit him second in the entire NHL behind Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl, Nylander has been a driving force behind Toronto's offence all season long.And it turns out that he actually quietly set a Leafs record last week, despite not much fanfare circling on it.With Nylander's 42nd of the season scored in a 6-5 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks, he actually one-upped countryman Mats Sundin for the best single-season goal-scoring mark in Leafs history by a European player. Sundin topped out at 41 in the 1996-97 seasons, 2001-02 season topping a previous mark of 32 set by Czech winger Miroslav Frycer...
