Toronto Maple Leafs fans ought not to fear; there are no clear signs that Auston Matthews will pull a Matthew Tkachuk move at the end of his contract.
While it’s understandable that Toronto Maple Leafs fans may get angsty after seeing Johnny Gaudreau and now seemingly Matthew Tkachuk depart Calgary, fears of Auston Matthews departing may be over-blown.
Simply put, he has the opportunity to create a remarkable legacy with an Original Six team and by remaining with the one team for his career, should successfully re-write the Leafs’ record books.
Indeed, the alternative is to return home, which is Arizona.
