Nylander will start training camp at center, reports Arun Srinivasan of The Leafs Nation on Wednesday

No surprise here, really. New coach Craig Berube knows that John Tavares will be best served on the third line, and Nylander is a talented player who's willing to take on any challenge. The Leafs have tried Nylander down the middle before, and the experiments never lasted more than a few games because of Willie's defensive challenges. If successful, the Leafs would be able to spread its offense across three lines, making it even harder for opponents to defend their elite talent.
