No issue is more important to the Leafs than that ofAuston Matthews Currently. What he thinks regarding the present and the future of this formation is more important than ever because he will be able to sign a contract extension from July 1.
A small step was taken with the victory over the Lightning in the first round this spring, but the team is far from its Stanley Cup aspirations. 11 playoff wins, to be precise, underscoring the importance of a summer where the Leafs need to improve significantly while having to make decisions regarding 10 unrestricted free agents and one restricted goaltender Ilya Samsonov.
It will be interesting to see the direction the Leafs would take if Matthews leaves because yes even if it is unlikely, there is a chance that he will leave the Maple Leafs. That’s according to the Toronto Sun, which uses BetOnline.ag odds to predict where Matthews might land if he’s done with Toronto.
As reported by our colleagues from Hockey Feedin such a situation, the tipsters give the advantage to the Blackhawkswho won the 2023 draft lottery and will be able to select the phenomenon Connor Bedard.
Then come the Coyotes at 3/1, the Rangers at 5/1 and the Kings as well as Golden Knightsboth at 6/1.
But hey, the chances of Matthews leaving Toronto are slim. Even though it will probably cost them 15 million per season.
