NHL Shockwave: Could Auston Matthews Be Heading for a Stunning Maple Leafs Exit?
The Toronto Maple Leafs, like the Edmonton Oilers, don’t have the draft picks or assets to make any significant moves without trading a rostered player. And if that happens, are they heading toward contending or rebuilding?
Having the first overall pick in 2026 is great. This isn’t an overcomplicated situation, despite what some may say; you take Gavin McKenna. Having a play-making winger on the top line helps Matthews and Matthew Knies. But as Pagnotta noted, both are excited to play alongside each other, but that isn’t the only thing that will move the needle for Auston Matthews.
