Besides the narrative that Will has absolutely no hookup rumors or any relationship with a girlfriend with proof because he's possibly gay, I think it could also be because the guy is too… I don't know how to put it… innocent? idealistic? He wants a romantic movie love story like the romcoms he's so obsessed with, like he's looking for a partner to marry. I don't know by that's the vibe I get from his family and how he grew up surrounded by women and also quite Catholic (like looking for a traditional family with all that marriage, kids, stuff). I was thinking about that with that picture of him with the Toffoli's dog I swear he looks so maternal and sweet in that photo, and it's like instead of having rumors about girls or going out drinking like other hockey players, he's watching romcoms or Christmas movies, baking cakes, making chocolates, holding puppies like babies or having dinner at pretty restaurants with his friends. In short, he's a very idealistic romantic demisexual person and is looking for the right person
I do see a softness in Will for sure. Whether he is gay or just very in touch with his feminine side who knows. There was a fun sex and the city episode (og not the new one) that explored this topic. Go look up the pastry chef Stephane for reference.
