Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Contract extension talks between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Auston Matthews agent Judd Moldaver have intensified on a five or six-year deal.
Matthews yesterday.
“There’s no secret there’s a cap. So, try to find something that works for both sides and obviously helps us out with that whole situation. I’ll leave it to them and just continue to play hockey, and once it’s done, it’s done. That’ll be it,” said Matthews, after scoring in his third consecutive game.
Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas would like to get both Matthews and Mitch Marner both signed before the trade deadline.
