William Nylander is often shown flashing some fancy stickwork and skating, off the ice you can find him showing off his fashion sense and led him to be named 'Willy Styles'.

But for one NHL Analyst, his level of play and his ascension in the league, especially since reaching NHL Network's Top 20 Wingers rankings, should grant him a brand new title.
While discussing the Leaf on NHL Network, analyst Stu Grimson took it upon himself to take a stab at a new nickname for the Swede.
''We were fond of calling him �Slick Willy' because his game is just that fluid. He may be amongst the smoothest players of the game.''
While it may not have the same ring as Willy Styles, there's no denying his slickness on the ice is just one of the facets he brings to his fashionable talent. Last year, the forward registered a career high 98 points (40G, 58A) in a showcase of his true ability, something Leafs fans have hoped to happen for awhile.
Keep Stylin' on them Willy.
