The chatter around Auston Matthews signing (or not signing) a new contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs has already reached fever-pitch.
All of this despite the fact that he remains under contract and will play for the Toronto Maple Leafs for, at the very least and barring some crazy circumstance, the next two seasons.
In that time, there is little doubt that he’ll surpass some very esteemed names in terms of his place in the team’s history; having most recently done so as the first winner of the Ted Lindsay Award in team history.
