The Toronto Maple Leafs are gearing up for training camp with a surprising change to their lineup.

Head Coach Sheldon Keefe has decided to move William Nylander from the wing to the centre position, a move that has raised eyebrows among fans.

Although Nylander was initially drafted as a centre, he has spent the majority of his time in Toronto as a winger, with limited experience in a defensive role. However, Keefe sees this as an opportunity to explore Nylander's versatility and potential before trade rumors become a reality.

Keefe expressed his confidence in Nylander's capabilities, saying,

"Willy can do whatever he puts his mind to. He's that good. I push Willy more because I really do believe in his ability. It's not going to be a one-off or a one-day thing or one pre-season game. We want to give it some time."

This decision is set to introduce a new dynamic to the Maple Leafs' lineup, signaling a significant change that could reshape the team's dynamics in the upcoming season.
