The Toronto Maple Leafs finally got the most important business of the summer finished just the other day when they announced the signing of Auston Matthews to a four-year extension.
This signing is excellent for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
It ensures that Matthews is a Leaf for the first 12 years of his career, and it’s at a number that is team-friendly for the second-best player alive. After four years, they can make sure their best player is paid fairly for the final big contract of his career.
That’s great and all, but now it’s time to sign William Nylander.
