The Toronto Maple Leafs penalty kill will have a new look next year and maybe it’s time to reconsider Auston Matthews playing on it.
With the high likelihood of Ilya Mikheyev leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs for decent money elsewhere, there’s a guaranteed spot opening up in the group.
Pierre Engvall and Alex Kerfoot are both at least possibly on the move, and so there is a chance that the Leafs PK will be getting a major overhaul.
Auston Matthews would be a great addition to the Leafs PK. After all, his defensive game has shown some genuine growth in recent years.
