NHL Shockwave: Could Auston Matthews Be Heading for a Stunning Maple Leafs Exit?
But the mindset is still the same. The message behind the reporting is the exact same, and it’s fully accurate. Auston wants to win in Toronto, but if the Leafs don’t show him that next year and the year after, they’re going to be competitive, the hell is he going to stay there for?
Matthews has been the topic of conversation because he has two years left on a four-year deal he signed in August of 2023, with a cap hit of $13.25 million. He just saw how management traded Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights and couldn’t replace that production. The Maple Leafs used to have a top five; now they have a top three. So there is work that needs to be done on the roster.
