Is Auston Matthews Heading Towards a Quinn Hughes-Style Showdown in Toronto?
The new hockey management will try to convince Matthews that things are still on track and this is a one-year blip. Remember, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet in the summer of 2021 they had discussions with Matthews about his future with the Maple Leafs. That was before he signed his four-year deal in August 2023.
Well, that deal has two-years left and the Toronto Maple Leafs went from one of the best teams to one of the worst teams overnight. It is a similar path the Vancouver Canucks went on heading into this season. Vancouver went to the second round of the playoffs in 2024 and then missed the playoffs the following season and then did everything in their power to convince defenseman Quinn Hughes to stay.
